Core Units |
|||
| Candidates for the Master of Health Technology Innovation must complete a minimum of 24 credit points from the listed Core units of study. | |||
| HTIN5001 Nature of Systems |
6 | A The unit is aimed at graduates and researchers who are interested in developing skills in complex systems analysis. The unit is highly interdisciplinary and as such, there is no assumed prior knowledge or course prerequisites. However, students who will benefit most from the unit will be those who are open-minded and motivated to "think outside the box". The unit has been deliberately designed as a new teaching and learning experience. |
