Honours Course & Project

This course has three interrelated components focused on the individual, community, and global society, and is designed to develop leadership abilities. The first component focuses on developing students’ individual self-awareness and personal development through an exploration of values, beliefs, and socio-cognitive skills. The second component focuses on developing students’ leadership skills in the local community. The third component focuses on preparing students to be global citizens, with an enhanced understanding of the diverse values, beliefs, and behaviours typical of different cultures and societies. Taken together, these three distinct course components will build students’ capacity to be global leaders.

The course brings together students of different majors to conduct small group research and discussion on current social issues of local and global communities, and everyday problems, under the supervision of members from the Residential Colleges, including resident fellows, non-resident fellows, and college affiliates. Students are motivated to develop their skills on critical thinking, multidisciplinary approach to problem solving, and teamwork.
