Learning outcomes It is important that study programmes and their staff develop and embed a learning outcomes based approach not only in the writing of program documentation but as importantly to the development of curricula and within the teaching, learning and assessment activity.

Learning outcomes Express what a person with an award of a study programme knows, can do and understands – rather than express the content or the time spent on a study programme..
