Integrated Learning Programme (ILP)

Integrated Learning Programme (ILP)

Our Integrated Learning Programme administered by the Office of Student Affairs, is an important element of the University’s out-of-classroom learning. It aims at enriching students’ learning experiences, enabling students to interact with others more effectively, inspiring their creative thinking as well as expanding their intellectual and cultural horizons. The ILP covers six learning domains: Civic Education, Intellectual Development, Physical Education, Social and Emotional Development, Aesthetic Development and Hostel Education.

General Education

Apart from the formal curriculum, the Office of the Core Curriculum organises a wide range of extra-curricular events such as film series, talks and seminars on various general education topics for widening the intellectual landscape of our students. 

Hostels as Living Learning Communities

All hostels on campus are Living Learning Communities where students can acquire independence, interpersonal and problem-solving skills, and a sense of community and responsibility. Programmes and activities organised in hostels cover themes relating to leadership, self-governance, green living and civic responsibilities, etc.
