Curriculum Design

At a threshold level, the design, implementation and review of all our curricula follow the University's system of programme approval, annual programme review, and monitoring by external examiners and the School Advisory Committee (SAC). But on top of those, we also actively solicit valuable inputs from a wide range of stakeholders, including members of the SAC, prospective employers, prospective students, graduates, and officials of professional bodies. These processes help us maintain the 'academic rigour' and 'professional relevance' of our programmes by closely integrating both theory and practice into our curricula.

While the aforesaid mechanisms provide effective quality controls in designing new curriculums, we believe that greater values can be generated if more attention and thought are given to their implementation. For instance, the SAC provides us with a valuable link to practitioners, through which we can solicit their pragmatic advice on matters related to our programmes and curricula. In addition to the university-wide Student Feedback Questionnaire that relates more to the delivery of curricula, the School performs its own "Exit Survey" targeted at immediate graduates. It assesses the effectiveness of our programmes in preparing graduates for their career development. An alternate exit survey on major employers is also conducted to solicit the market's view on the same matter.
