Seminar Series

The Foundation Seminar Series offers students a unique opportunity for in-depth interaction and discussion within small groups throughout the semester. These seminars serve as essential learning platforms, fostering a deeper understanding of foundational themes and developing students' confidence and analytical skills necessary for critical thinking, reading comprehension, and contributing meaningfully to discussions. Crucially, the series cultivates academic writing proficiency through regular written assignments and feedback, enabling students to articulate their ideas clearly and persuasively. Designed to accommodate students at various levels, the series utilises a diverse range of materials, including academic papers, films, video essays, and more, to explore themes such as conflict, identity, the future, and the past. This approach ensures students develop well-rounded skills in critical thinking, communication, and academic expression.
