Journey to the Leading Edge Curriculum

Our Leading Edge Curriculum

Our Education for Life 2030+ Strategy is a bold and ambitious plan to shape the future of education at our university.  It aims to strengthen academic quality, improve the student experience, and encourage greater innovation across the institution. It reflects our commitment to offering an inclusive, flexible, and future focused learning experience for every student, no matter what or where they study. 

The Leading Edge Curriculum (LEC) is key to delivering the ambitions set out in our Education for Life 2030 Strategy. It provides a shared, institution-wide framework to support high-quality, future focussed education that is academically rigorous, inclusive and clearly articulated across the student journey. 

In the (2 min) video below Professor Ruth Valentine, Pro Vice Chancellor Education, gives an introduction to the purpose of the LEC and highlights key elements of the framework. 

The LEC Framework

The LEC framework offers a common language and structure to support shared understanding and consistent approaches to curriculum across the institution, helping ensure learning experiences are coherent, intentional and aligned to our Education Strategy.
