Practicums are group-based (2-5 member teams) learning courses, which give students the opportunity to engage in community-based research in partnership with community organisations. This course takes place over 2 semesters, from August each year till May the following year.
CTPCLC collaborates with a variety of different community organizations to offer Practicums to students. Alternatively, the student can bring in a community partner and scope a potential research topic with a faculty advisor from CTPCLC. Please approach a faculty advisor at CTPCLC one academic semester in advance of the year you are planning to bring in a community partner.
CTPCLC will then advertise the Practicum for student recruitment.
Practicum I is pegged at level 2000
Practicum II is pegged at level 3000 and can only be accessed upon completion of the first three core courses for the minor programme.
For both Practicum I and Practicum II, students will be pre-allocated the course, based on their cohort year requirements, during course registration exercise if they have been selected to join a project.
