This module explores Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as a dynamic framework for higher education. Focusing on real-world issues, PBL engages students in critical analysis, creative problem-solving, and teamwork. Emphasizing the transferability of skills, students delve into literature searching, report writing, communication, and practical applications over two semesters. Activities include multi-disciplinary group projects, presentations, and reflective journals. This approach promotes personal development and contextual understanding, preparing students for effective professional practice.
