Quality Standards & Assurance

16

The curriculum has been designed in line with the University’s educational vision to provide a quality learning experience for its students. Thus, it incorporates five key strands in the learning experience: personalized learning; the curriculum; realistic learning; employability; and assessment. The curriculum has been designed to be flexible, inclusive, and transparent, enabling learners to achieve the course learning outcomes and have a quality learning experience.

Course Structure promotes:

  • Personalised Learning: Utilizes students’ diverse experiences and talents to enhance learning.
  • Curriculum: Provides an integrated, developmental, and challenging learning experience.
  • Realistic Learning: Emphasizes application of theory to practice, informed by current practice and research.
  • Employability: Portfolio developed to demonstrate high-level skills in complex, multi-cultural, and professional environments.
  • Assessment: Supports learner development and employability through employer engagement at key curriculum points.
