A competence based approach to thinking about higher education can offer an answer to the growing conversation about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the future of education, and on assessment in particular.
At the University of Hull our academic portfolio is underpinned by our Competence-Based Education Framework, a deliberate response to the challenges presented by the fourth industrial revolution.
We have defined competence as having the necessary experience, knowledge, and self-awareness to do something effectively. We recognise competence in three domains: knowledge management, disciplinary and professional experience, and self-awareness.
Our framework has been developed to ensure that our graduates leave the university possessing those competences that will support their success as they move forward into further study and/or employment.
