GEL Experiential Learning Courses

 

Experiential Learning has been introduced to the GE domain from 2019/20 onwards. It is composed of Experiential Learning Courses (ELCs) and Co-Curricular and Service Learning Courses (CSLCs).

 

ELCs (3 cps) encourage students to learn through experimentation, observation, reflection and (re-)conceptualization while undertaking a wide variety of activities, such as creative work, student-initiated enterprises/projects, thematic overseas trips, outward-bound training, etc.
