Personal Project: Nature of Personal Project

Personal Project information and support for teachers and students

Nature of Personal Project

The personal project provides an opportunity for students to undertake an independent and age- appropriate exploration into an area of personal interest. Through the process of inquiry, action and reflection, students are encouraged to demonstrate and strengthen their approaches to learning (ATL) skills.

Below are some key ideas to consider:

  • What is a personal project?
  • What is the value of a personal project?
  • Who could be involved in a personal project?
  • When do students complete personal project?
  • How much time will do students spend on personal project?

This LibGuide is designed for students and teachers. It aims to help students complete the different steps of the personal project and assist supervisors and mentors support them in their journey.
