In a previous HEPI blog, it was reported in that “it appears that just five providers … received ‘outstanding’ ratings across all three features of educational gain: SO4 – a provider’s own articulation of the gains it intends its students to achieve, SO5 – its approach to supporting these educational gains, and SO6 – evidence of the gains achieved by the provider’s students.”
At the University of Hull, we were delighted to receive an outstanding rating for SO4, SO5 and SO6 (and although we received a Silver for the student outcomes aspect, we were thrilled to receive a Gold award overall).
In early 2019, the University of Hull launched Transforming Programmes, an institution-wide curriculum review across our undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes. At the heart of Transforming Programmes is an innovative and unique Competence Framework, developed by the University’s Teaching Excellence Academy. Competence-based higher education responds to many global needs. It instils a commitment to lifelong learning and professional and personal development. It builds graduate identity and professional profiles. And it is inclusive to students with protected characteristics and those historically excluded from higher education.
