Interdisciplinarity SSLC Questionnaire
A dictionary definition of interdisciplinarity will tell you that it means "the quality or fact of involving or drawing on two or more branches of knowledge."
Interdisciplinarity at Warwick at the face of it is a culmination of two or more fields, put to use during your course of study here and is accessed through any tool such as modules, interactions with students from other departments, departmental activities, etc.
The following questions aim to understand the general awareness around interdisciplinarity in your department, as well as during your experience as a SSLC rep.
Please answer 'N/A' anywhere you think is appropriate
