Experiential Learning
Many of the wicked problems in society today require interconnected and interdependent perspectives and collective collaboration. We enable students to thrive in a VUCA world by equipping them with interdisciplinary & experiential learning tools and processes, enabling students to synthesize knowledge from multiple disciplines to address complex issues. Above all, we deepen student' socio-cultural competence and social responsibility to the local and global community through sustainable, reciprocal engagement with partners on real-world issues.
Experiential Learning manages 3 of the Experiential Graduation Requirements - ePortfolio, Community Engagement/Service-Learning and Overseas Experience/Global Learning.

ePortfolio
The SUSS ePortfolio is a University graduation requirement that trains every Full-Time SUSS student to take on a holistic learning lens as they engage in self-directed learning. By showcasing a thoughtful selection of reflections, work samples and artefacts, students can demonstrate the synthesis of their learning, critical thinking and growth. Even beyond their time in SUSS, students can proudly showcase and develop their identity as a learner, citizen or emerging professional through this lifelong learning journey.
The intent of ePortfolio is meant to be a formative and summative collection of all learnings and students are strongly encouraged to embark on it from the time they begin their journey with SUSS.
All student's ePortfolio will only be assessed on their final semester of their studies, hence submissions must be put up 6 months prior to the semester students will be filing for graduation in.
All submissions must be in accordance to the assessment rubrics. For students filing for graduation from January 2024 semester onwards:
A new assessment rubric will be in place for students filing for graduation from 2024 onwards. Students affected are strongly recommended to watch the video to be informed of the changes from the old to the new rubrics and a training workshop to equip you with the skills to prepare your ePortfolio.
