Apart from University’s admission requirements, all applicants are also required to participate in the programme admission exercise with an aim to assess their suitability to the Bachelor of Arts, Science and Technology (Hons) programme. Candidates will be invited to submit a portfolio for review and some will be invited to attend an interview.
The interview will be conducted in English.
The short answer has two key words: Active and Authentic. The learning experience will be personalised, with each student playing an active and essential role in deciding their areas of study and designing their own curriculum. It will also be filled with research and activities towards solving real problems with which the student is authentically concerned.
Each student will be matched with a chief Academic Supervisor at the beginning and with more Co-advisors later on, both inside and outside the university. They will co-design their personalised learning journey together with these advisors throughout the four-year study.
