Programme approval: Curriculum development process

Session Outline

Are you thinking of developing a new programme? Have you got an idea of a programme which may appeal to potential UHI students and you may already have internal academic partner agreement to explore it further? Well, this is the webinar for you.

We will have a brief chat about your idea, explore the four stages of the curriculum development process including seeking planning approval, peer review, academic approval and post approval actions. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and make sure you can apply the process to your own context.

This is the first in a series of three webinars focussed on programme approval and this webinar is mandatory for colleagues wishing to develop a new programme. You only need to attend once. It may also be of use to colleagues based who have an interest in quality and would like to learn more about the curriculum development cycle.
