Creative Thinking: Thinking Outside of the Box

Creative thinking is something which everyone possesses.  However, sometimes it is difficult to think creatively when you are so focused in trying to complete a task. To overcome this, we can try different approaches to tackling a problem or generating new ideas. 

In this course you will initially reflect on creative people and their attributes before exploring your own creativity and how you can overcome any creative blocks.  You will also learn how different tools and techniques can be used to generate ideas and solve problems.

This course is open to Research Degree Students, Postdocs & Research Fellows.
