Law - University Town College Programme (UTCP)
The
University
Town College Programme (UTCP) is a
multidisciplinary academic programme offered in
College of Alice & Peter Tan, Residential College 4
and Tembusu College at University Town. This
programme provides an exciting opportunity for
students to read electives outside their majors, and
pursue other interests while living and learning
with the College community.
A distinctive five-module curriculum read over 4
semesters, UTCP comprises a Junior Seminar and two
Senior Seminars, in addition to two Ideas and
Exposition modules which seek to enhance students’
communication skills and prepare them for today’s
workplace. Class sizes for these College modules are
small, allowing for a rigorous, interactive and
highly personalised academic experience. Through
this programme, students will be able to develop
strategies for clear and impactful writing, sharpen
their inquiry and critical reasoning skills, as well
as articulate their ideas on issues which are
global-Asian in orientation. A host of informal
learning activities, such as talks by distinguished
visitors, as well as social and sporting activities,
complement the formal curriculum.
Due to the unique Law curriculum structure, an
alternative learning pathway is designed for Law
students to still read modules as part of the
residential college experience. As a College
residency requirement, students are expected to read
one UTCP module (as Enrichment) per year of
residency.
