Curriculum for Life (C4L) Elective Courses
What is Curriculum for Life?
Curriculum for Life (C4L) are new elective courses that give you the opportunity to learn with students on different degrees, tackle real-world challenges, and develop skills for your future.
Some of our C4L courses have been co-created by students, for students, ensuring courses are interactive and engaging.
You can explore all C4L courses under the six themes below; Climate & Environment, Creativity & Innovation, Health & Communities, Power & Justice, Leadership & Discovery, and Digital Literacy.
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 20 credits and is compatible with progressing to your preferred Honours combination. C4L is available for a maximum of 20 credits per student per academic year.
Regardless of which C4L course you are taking, for any further advice, contact your local College advisory team. Find out more about each of the courses below.
