Programmes are purposefully designed to ensure that modules form a coherent integrated and blended whole. The
learning pathway through the programme is articulated and shared with students.

Programmes are informed by, and develop a sense of connectedness to, the University community and beyond.
They are designed to be mindful of the need to prepare students for life beyond university.

Programmes are designed and delivered to ensure all students can access and actively engage in their blended
learning opportunities through student-centred and inclusive approaches to teaching, learning and assessment.
Students work in partnership with staff to shape the programme.

Programmes integrate education for sustainable development appropriate to the discipline. They make effective use
of resources and digital learning opportunities as part of an outstanding blended learning experience for students.
