Curriculum reform initiatives in higher education

This seminar provides an opportunity to launch a report generated from the HEA funded research project ‘Curriculum reform initiatives in higher education’. The research explored the nature of whole institutional curriculum reform undertaken by universities in the UK and beyond in response to the globalised world and global economy of the 21st Century.

The key questions addressed in the report considered:

• What self-scrutiny strategies planning and processes do universities who have successfully reformed the curriculum undertake?
• How do these universities measure and evaluate the impact of whole curriculum reform in relation to learning and teaching and the student experience?

Dr Pegg’s seminar will discuss the report findings and the different approaches to curriculum reform taken by the case study institutions and the wider group of universities who contributed to the study.
