Project Based Learning

WELCOME

In order for you to succeed in your chosen field, we believe it is important to practice through hands-on learning. That's why your course is designed to combine theory with exposure to a number of projects that offer real-world problems for you to solve. Throughout your course, you will work in teams to find real solutions to these problems, applying theory through hands-on activities.

WHAT IS PROJECT BASED LEARNING?

I hear and I forget.  I see and I remember.  I do and I understand. 

Project based learning is a teaching method that enables students to learn through experience by tackling a wide variety of real-world challenges and projects. It emphasizes learning activities that are long-term, often team-based, interdisciplinary, and student-centered. It is designed to help our students acquire a deeper understanding of their subject by taking the theory that is learned in the lecture theatre and providing an opportunity to put it into practice through experimentation.
