About the Programme
The new curriculum is designed on the principle of transformation — focusing not only on knowledge of ideas and concepts but on what students aspire to become after two years of learning at LIBA. Becoming is the essence, not just knowing. To become, students must first reflect on their current state of being and identify the gap between where they are and where they wish to be. This discernment process enables awareness of inner motivations, intentions, strengths, and areas for growth, fostering holistic learning and personal formation.
