This unit provides the opportunity to bring together what the student has learnt in the previous supervision units and demonstrate their capacity for further research by critically evaluating an experience or topic and integrating their findings in a coherent essay or project report. Integrative experiences are designed to provide students with an opportunity to be engaged in educationally purposeful practice with an invite to engage collaboratively. Students will have the option to choose between three integrative experiences: a major research project, a relevant placement opportunity or attending an in-person, group relations conference or alternative experiential program.
