Curriculum for Life (C4L)
What is Curriculum for Life?
Curriculum for Life (C4L) are new elective courses providing students with opportunities to tackle real-world challenges and develop skills for their future.
You can explore all C4L courses under the six themes below; Climate & Environment, Creativity & Innovation, Health & Communities, Power & Justice, Leadership & Discovery, and Digital Literacy.
C4L courses are open to students across the four Colleges, creating learning spaces where you can collaborate across different Subjects, Schools and degree programmes, broadening your perspective beyond the traditional learning environment.
All Curriculum for Life courses are designed to welcome students from any academic background, so there are no pre-requisites. They are a level 1 credit option. Each course is worth 10 or 20 credits and is compatible with progressing to your preferred Honours combination. C4L is available for a maximum of 20 credits.
You can find out more about each of the courses below.
