Year 3 Semester 1

Welcome to your final academic journey in SP! Yes, we all know you'll miss school very much. This last semester will make it even more heartwrenching for you to graduate as you will go through even crazier projects with your classmates and even coursemates! We even got to go to Bintan, Indonesia together as a cohort for a module in this semester. Psst... we heard that our juniors would be going to further places!

This is also the module that allowed us to go overseas. We were thrown into a foreign context and had to come up with a video concept with coursemates we've never worked before. Sounds pretty threatening, but it was so much fun!
