Designing an integrated curriculum Group 2: Yellow
Rationale – Why? • Personal contact and already existing networks – both academic and administrative • Seeking Erasmus Mundus funding - Quality label, branding, prestige • Market needs Good practice • Building in longevity from the beginning • Virtuous circle through engagement with stakeholders
Mobility • Models varied from relatively strict and prescriptive to very open and flexible • Mixture of academic, global awareness, practical and language-acquisition reasons for promoting mobility Good practice • Build in ability for students to come together as a class / cohort • Be creative! Think beyond your institutional rules • Clear communication of pathways to students • Clear communication of value-added to students • Funding and scholarships
Curriculum Development • Early development of curriculum tended to grow organically (from pre-existing modules) • Clear articulation of goals, learning outcomes Good Practice • Modify modules for the benefit of students • Added-value with internship schemes, guest speakers and employability • ‘Escape routes’ for students • Ongoing evaluation (QI) and partnership meetings
