3. Interdisciplinary | Closely linked concepts and skills are learned from two or more disciplines with the aim of deepening knowledge and skills. |
4. Transdisciplinary | Knowledge and skills learned from two or more disciplines are applied to real-world problems and projects, thus helping to shape the learning experience. |
