Our Programme Design Philosophy
NEW: A vision for education and skills at Newcastle University: Education for Life 2030+
Programme level design underpins our Leading Edge Curriculum Framework.
"Designing at programme level enables us to shape the educational journey that our students experience moving from a curriculum as a collection of units to learning as a transformative learning experience"
As you look over the requirements of LEC you will see that a Programme Level Philosophy is key to how we:
- design Learning and Teaching
- implement Assessment and Feedback
- provide opportunities to develop Education for Life Skills and Attributes
- develop Encounters with the Leading Edge
- design Capstone Modules
- incorporate Cross-cutting Curriculum Themes
- provide Global Opportunities and Placements
Programme teams will be supported by the Curriculum Transformation Team to engage in a structured, collaborative process of curriculum redesign aligned with the new curriculum framework. Support includes facilitated programme-focused design periods, workshops, and resources that enable teams to work flexibly while developing coherent, programme-level curricula.
