(2.) Key constructs in education tier introduces students to some key theoretical frames and ideas within them, across a broad theme. It shows their expression and engagement in research conducted on this theme.

(3.) Enhanced professional learning tier deepens students' knowledge of particular ideas, specialist areas and contexts.

(4.) Professional inquiry tier supports students to extend their scholarly work through their contribution to public intellectual debate or by developing new knowledge in an area of their interest.
