Intellectual Development

 

The development of your mind, the gathering of information in the different subjects of study, digesting this information and putting it into practical frame will be the major part of your education here. Let your aim of study be not just to successfully reproduce in an examination what you have learnt, but also to cultivate the art of thinking for yourself, of thinking analytically and expressing yourself clearly.

Do not limit yourself to the class material; go deeper into the subject by regular study and wider reading. At the same time broaden your mental horizons by getting a working knowledge of at least three languages.

Learning requires regular work. Have a timetable for your study and keep abreast of the material being covered in class. The College has a library of over 30,000 books and a reading room. Make good use of the library particularly during your free hours. Your librarian and lecturers will help you to select the right books if you approach them.
