Curriculum Development
Curriculum Design and Development can be a complex, many layered process.
UL’s Integrated Curriculum Development Framework is designed to help you through that process. Read more here.
Here in CTL we have many tips and resources to help you through, whether you and your programme team are
- designing a new programme,
- writing new modules,
- revising an existing programme,
- or thinking about rewriting existing modules.
Prior to submission of programmes and modules for approval or review, we can help with:
Learning Outcomes

This document gives a comprehensive overview describing the use of LOs, how to write and assess them, and lists of alternative verbs to help you isolate the correct wording for your LOs.
