The research aims to characterise and optimise the curriculum and pedagogy of the ATLAS-UCT program, to foster higher-order academic skills namely creative problem solving, critical-thinking, interdisciplinary thinking, and communication, etc. This study majorly takes advantage of quasi-experimental design for research by employing both qualitative and quantitative experimental approaches through instruments such as self-reflective questionnaires, experience sampling, surveys, psychometrics, formative and  summative novel assessments. Our methodology will unfold in two phases. The first phase will serve to identify and characterise higher-order academic skills and competencies. Phase 2: “Execution and Evaluation of the Curriculum and Pedagogy”. The overall aim of these two phases is to identify a set of best practices to inculcate intended skills in students.
