Course Pathways

There is a balance between the time that you spend on building skills through KNoTs (classes), undertaking your project, and building your Shareable Artefact, which is a shareable output from your learning journey.

Choose the pathway that you would like to take:

Skills Pathway

The Skills Pathway prepares for a wide range of future challenges by undertaking a variety of KNoTs. This is the right pathway for you if you are:

  • creating a foundation for skills
  • developing a project that you or others might progress in the future

Students in the Skills Pathway often undertake a Living Lab project.

Flexible Pathway

If you have specific learning goals that don’t fit neatly into the Skills-Focus or Project-Focus pathways, you can design a Flexible Pathway. This allows you to tailor your KNoT selections and project hours to best suit your aspirations.
