Transdisciplinary electives allow you to differentiate yourself, which is why the university embeds eight of them in every undergraduate degree. All you need to do is choose which one inspires you the most. In each TD elective subject, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an industry partner organisation.
Transdisciplinary subjects integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from diverse angles. Employers increasingly value candidates who can think beyond their specialised fields
By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline.
Working across disciplines requires collaboration with people who have different knowledge and expertise. Our TD Electives will help you build on your interpersonal and communication skills – which are highly valued in professional environments where teamwork across fields is common.
More broadly, a transdisciplinary subject can help make you more adaptable, innovative, and capable of tackling real-world problems in today’s interconnected world.
* Excludes students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation.
