Full testimonial: 

There are 10 modules in the Common Core Curriculum that teach students a range of skills from problem solving to presentation.   To me, the CCC is a very beneficial programme to SP students' learning experience.

Personally, the modules that I enjoyed and benefited from the most were Personal Branding and Career Agility (PBCA) and Persuasive Communication with Data Storytelling (PCDS).

The skills I have acquired from these two modules as an architecture student include being able to tell the story of my design intent and the logic behind a building's functions which are very important in architecture. PCDS has allowed me to translate the skills I learnt on data analysis to my architecture work. PBCA is critical in the field of the built environment for me to showcase my own personal branding and design style as an architect. As part of my PBCA research on career opportunities, I also gained a deeper appreciation of the various opportunities in the realm of architecture and how vast this field of specialisation really is.
