This programme provides students with opportunities to discuss their own experiences, perceptions and understanding of relevant topics and issues.
Students will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to evaluate, plan and manage their learning and make effective transitions.
Students will explore the concept of ‘self’ and awareness of their own personal and social development needs.
Subjects covered during the course include:
