Teaching Approaches

We adopt interdisciplinary approaches in our teaching and learning. Subjects are designed at postgraduate level that may call upon work experience from students, so that integration of theory with practice can be better realized. Teaching and learning methods are student-centered, and problem-based when appropriate with a range of activities such as:

• experience sharing
• seminars
• tutorials
• laboratory/practical classes
• case studies Independent guided study and research-based dissertation will also be incorporated to allow flexibility for students to have in-depth study and research on their area of interest.
