The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø education of the future: we want your views

This is an exciting time for education at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø. We're planning major changes to a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø education of the future and our five-year plan, our , contains exciting proposals that affect you.

We've already asked for your views and changed the strategy as a result. Now it's time for you to make your voice heard again.

As a result of your feedback:

  • We've taken out the idea ofÌý 'Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø-ness': a list of attributes which define Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø graduates
  • We've changed the proposal to make all students sit the 'core course' -Ìýa module that teaches critical thinking through an online platform. Instead, students will complete this before starting at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø
  • We've moved away from every course having an online module
  • We've placed more emphasis on providing support for staff when it comes to assessment and feedback
