Healthy Living Wellbeing

AY2024/2025 Special Term

This course is one of the NTU 2025 Education - Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC) courses. It aims to provide multi-disciplinary competence in a cross-disciplinary, collaborative learning environment, with student interaction and collaboration across schools as a key learning foundation. As the title connotes, the main objective of this compulsory undergraduate course is to examine what constitutes living a good, healthy, and flourishing life. According to research, individuals around the world pursue this 'flourishing life' in different ways, be it through improving one's physical fitness, seeking authentic relationships with others, or making a positive change in the environment. Thus, knowing and understanding how the different components of a 'good life' contribute to one's overall functioning is critical to one's healthy wellbeing. The latter, in turn, affords many benefits such as better health (physical, mental, and emotional health) and stronger relationships. By the end of this course, students would have developed an awareness of what constitutes living a healthy and flourishing life, both of which indirectly contribute to a successful undergraduate education.
