Curriculum revision and educational leadership
Educational leaders provide direction for the faculty by ensuring that curricula are geared to achieving the highest possible quality. This calls for effective and motivated people with a clear educational vision when it comes to course content, didactics and organisation. Key themes include research into the structure, cohesion and flexibility of the programme, students’ study habits, study success, student culture and student intake and transfers.
