These self study packs have been chosen by the faculty to support your learning journey. Most packs can be completed within 10 hours, but are structured in sprints that can be completed at your own pace in as little as 30 minutes at a time.

One pack we ask you to complete is Becoming Culturally Competent. There are other packs that staff may ask you to complete as part of your wider learning, including AI Literacy or others in preparation for placements.

Below you will find our other recommended self study packs. There are also over 200 packs to explore across the Rise site, to help you develop new skills alongside your studies.
