Road Map for Student Development

Adopting the four-pronged approach outlined in the University Strategic Plan 2021-2025, this road map facilitates comprehensive preparation for our students' life journeys from their initial engagement to the goal of a flourishing life. Recognizing that each student has unique characteristics, strengths, orientations, and readiness, this process allows them to enter at any point that suits their needs.

(a) empathetic concern for the well-being of others and nature;

​

  • Activities designed to develop desirable values, attitudes and skills as a part of enhanced student orientation and first-year experience programmes
