SUSS Core Curriculum Overview

The SUSS Core curriculum develops adaptive and resilient global citizens through 4 branches of courses imbued with our core philosophy of Head, Heart, and Habit (3Hs), and offers our undergraduates a shared SUSS experience. These courses keep our students rooted in strong theoretical foundations and applied knowledge, and equip them with skills for personal, interpersonal, professional and organisational success. They enable learners to appreciate complex issues in local and global contexts, enhance their understandings of individuals, communities and relationships, and empower them to contribute meaningfully to society through interdisciplinary approaches and experiential learning.
