UL's Integrated Curriculum Development Framework

UL's Integrated Curriculum Design Framework: ICDF

Empowering all those who teach at UL

to provide a transformative learning experience

to our students


UL's learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy, Action for Wisdom, urges us to create curricula that embed:

the synergy between teaching and research through research-led, challenge driven, experiential, collaborative learning modes and (foster) cross-disciplinary sharing and exchange

 

To ensure 

a consistent, positive and coherent approach 

to our students' learning journeys, 

the ICDF embeds this synergy
