This approach provides students an opportunity to integrate their textbook knowledge with real-world problems through in-class, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities, such as:

The University encourages students to record their diverse learning experiences and reflect on what they have learnt from those activities in form of personal ePortfolios, which can be showcased to their future potential employers in job interviews. The University will conduct questionnaire survey to collect feedback of the programme from students.
