Learning through “Acquisition” and “Practice”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Academic Foundation Courses are positioned as a preparatory stage to facilitate a smooth transition to learning through “Acquisition” and “Practice” at this university. To make university learning more fulfilling, students deepen their understanding of the meaning and methods of learning while developing an attitude of actively engaging in learning. Furthermore, students solidify their understanding of the five competencies promoted by the university. Through learning activities in each course, they reflect on their own challenges and initiatives, deepening their understanding through dialogue and exchange of opinions with others. Moreover, by actively participating in learning, thinking independently, and engaging in active learning that promotes collaborative learning, students aim to form learning communities where they support each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
