Organisation

Knowledge check

This program is built around a skills-based approach: it encourages students to draw on and combine their knowledge, expertise, and interpersonal skills to effectively deal with real-life, complex, and interdisciplinary situations. This translates into greater student involvement through projects, case studies, simulations, and reflective assignments that require them to make connections between different areas of study.

This approach contextualizes learning, empowers students to take control of their own learning journey, and develops their reflexivity so that they become autonomous in analyzing their actions.
