CP Core

In the IBCP, we are prioritising the core capabilities outlined in the New Economy Skills series to ensure students are equipped for a landscape of innovation and resilience. Students' ability to adapt, create, and collaborate will determine their future competitiveness. By focusing on these priority skills in the CP Core components, we ensure students are ready for the opportunities of the new economy.

The CP Core Components 

• Personal and professional skills emphasises skills development for University and beyond, which are transferable and can be applied in a range of situations.

• Community Engagement takes a research-based approach, in which students often undertake service initiatives related to topics studied previously in their academic disciplines, utilizing skills, understandings and values developed in these studies.

• Reflective Project is an in-depth body of work produced over an extended period of time.  It is submitted towards the end of the CP, addressing an ethical dilemma arising from their specialism in the University courses.  High-level research, writing and extended communication skills, intellectual discovery and creativity.

• Language Cultural Studies encourages students to better understand and expand their own linguistic and cultural repertoires and imagine how they could further engage with a range of linguistic and cultural groups. As partners in inquiry, students and teachers explore their linguistic and cultural repertoires and reflect on them in the context of local and global communities.
