Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
The Intent of enrichment at NUAST is to provide extended learning prospects – it gives students the opportunity to study concepts with greater depth, breadth and complexity, while also helping students to pursue their own areas of interest and strengths. Not only does taking part in an enrichment activity look great on a CV when students apply for higher education, jobs or training schemes, but the transferable skills learnt throughout the activity are significant. The activities can boost self-confidence, develop leadership skills, instil self-motivation and can evidence good time-management. Away from the pressure of passing examinations, enrichment extends students’ education and personal growth. It is all evidence of how a student has a wide array of skills and achievements beyond their subject grades. Furthermore, enrichment is a fantastic way to increase students’ enjoyment of school life and create an inclusive, community spirit within the school.
