UL's Integrated Curriculum Development Framework

UL is committed to providing a transformative learning experience to our students

As part of this process our Integrated Curriculum Development Framework (ICDF), assists programme teams to work together to co-construct dynamic, enacted, responsive and responsible programmes and modules.

To ensure a consistent, positive and coherent approach to our students’ learning journeys, the ICDF embeds the synergy between teaching and research, fostering learning that is:

Research-led	Challenge driven
Experiential	Collaborative

In line with the UL Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy, Action for Wisdom, the ICDF streamlines:

A shared understanding of the curriculum across the university
The planning, designing, assessing and evaluation of programmes
Processes for programme design, approval and review
Content, pedagogy and learning for sustainability
Embedding the UL Graduate Attributes to articulate the distinctiveness of a UL education and our UL Graduates

The ICDF draws on national and international standards to ensure clear and accessible academic programmes.
