Programme

Programme outcomes are high-level expressions which define the learning objectives determined by the stakeholders in accordance with the academic unit’s mission in terms of knowledge, skills, and competences. The sole and ultimate aim of a Programme’s educational activities is to cultivate students into graduates who have achieved the Programme Outcomes (and thus the Learning Objectives). Quality of the Programme Outcomes must be guaranteed, which can only be achieved with organised, systematic, and evidence-based practices.
