An outline of the new Enhancement Theme Developing and Supporting the Curriculum has just been published and been made available across the HE sector.

In brief, ‘Developing and Supporting the Curriculum’ will allow the HE sector dedicated time, space and resource to consider and shape the nature of the Scottish HE experience, complementing work already going on within institutions. In G21C we considered what attributes graduates should have when they complete their first degree. Now we will consider how students arrive at this point:

• How is the curriculum, in its broadest sense, shaped and delivered?


• Who is it for – how is the student body changing?


• What support is required for staff?

Developing and Supporting the Curriculum will run for three academic years, from summer 2011.
