Non-credit Bearing General Education Programmes for the Second Semester, 2022 – 2023
Moving On!

…with patience, resilience, boldness and wisdom…to come through the spectre of the Pandemic, step by step.

Finally, the f2f term has resumed without disruption, after lockdowns and much online/hybrid learning over the past few years. We hope you have been enjoying the “normal” campus and student lives, and meeting some new friends offline too.

As the world is moving on with more opening up, we have to un-learn and re-learn, particularly sifting through the overload of digital information and gaining some new knowledge and wisdom. For those who are graduating soon, this is probably their last term, and so planning and moving on to a new path and identity could be challenging. We hope to curate our programmes for you to pick up some seeds to grow in your heart.
