Problem-Based Learning
Sometimes knowledge alone isn’t enough. In your career, you’ll need to be able to work independently, be assertive and solve problems. To prepare you for this, all FASoS programmes use the education model known as Problem-Based Learning (PBL). Watch the video to see what our students say about this.
