Aims & Objectives

The aims of Liberal Studies are: 

• to enhance students' understanding of themselves, their society, their nation, the human world and the physical environment; 
• to enable students to develop multiple perspectives on perennial and contemporary issues in different contexts (e.g. cultural, social, economic, political and technological contexts); 
• to help students become independent thinkers so that they can construct knowledge appropriate to changing personal and social circumstances; 
• to develop in students a range of skills for life-long learning, including critical thinking skills, creativity, problem-solving skills, communication skills and information technology skills; 
• to help students appreciate and respect diversity in cultures and views in a pluralistic society and handle conflicting values; and 
• to help students develop positive values and attitudes towards life so that they can become informed and responsible citizens of society, the country and the world.
