One of the aspects of UCLL that attracted me most was their emphasis on learning by doing. From day one, I was thrown into collaborative group work and challenged to find solutions to real issues faced by local businesses and organizations. Rather than passive note-taking, our classes very much take the form of workshops where we spend the majority of time working through authentic scenarios. This has helped me develop highly valuable soft skills like problem-solving, communication, and teamwork alongside the hard technical skills from my coursework
