While overseas programmes offer valuable opportunities for students to gain global experience, Kolej SPACE at UTMKL recognises the importance of fostering leadership skills and personal development closer to home. That's why we offer the Micro-credential Certificate in Student Leadership (MCSL) programme, providing students with the chance to enhance their leadership capabilities through immersive experiences held at University Utara Malaysia's campsite in Sintok, Kedah.
The MCSL programme is designed to equip students with the essential skills, knowledge, and attributes needed to excel as leaders in both academic and professional settings. Participants explore key concepts such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and decision-making, gaining practical insights into effective leadership practices and strategies. Nestled amidst the natural beauty of northern Malaysia, the campsite offers an ideal setting for students to immerse themselves in the principles and practices of leadership through experiential learning and outdoor activities.
Elevating Leadership Qualities
As part of the Microcredential Certificate in Student Leadership (MCSL) programme, students are given the opportunity to participate in a series of exhilarating teambuilding activities, including abseiling, jungle tracking, and night walking, designed to challenge their bravery, foster teamwork, and build resilience.
Abseiling, one of the key activities in the MCSL teambuilding programme, provides students with an opportunity to conquer their fears and test their limits in a controlled and supportive environment. Scaling down a vertical surface using ropes and harnesses requires not only physical strength and agility but also mental fortitude and trust in oneself and others.
In addition to abseiling, jungle tracking and night walking activities offer students a chance to connect with nature, explore their surroundings, and develop a deeper appreciation for the environment.
Embracing Nature's Leisurely Pace
As part of the MCSL programme, students are treated to an unforgettable kayaking adventure on the expansive lake at UUM, offering a refreshing break from rigorous leadership training and a chance to connect with nature.
Nestled amidst the lush greenery of northern Malaysia, the lake at UUM serves as the perfect setting for students to unwind, recharge, and immerse themselves in the tranquillity of nature. Against the backdrop of serene waters, participants embark on a journey of exploration and discovery, paddling their way through the gentle ripples of the lake and soaking in the breathtaking beauty of their surroundings.
Kayaking, a popular water sport beloved by adventure enthusiasts worldwide, offers students a unique opportunity to engage both mind and body as they navigate the waters with skill and precision. From mastering the art of paddling to honing their balance and coordination, participants develop important physical and mental skills that are essential for effective leadership and personal success.
