Untitled Slide

- Flexible learning pathways and partnerships, particularly with colleges
- Digital learning
- Learning and teaching excellence
- Student engagement

The SfL recognizes and embraces the diversity of GCU students, current and potential, and the University’s commitment to the participation, progression and success of all students regardless of background. It highlights the importance of:
A transformative approach to learning
Flexible learning pathways and partnerships, particularly with colleges
Digital learning
Learning and teaching excellence
Student engagement
To achieve its goal, the SfL focuses on a distinctive approach to learning, teaching and assessment. This is based on engagement- led learning and real world problem solving, coupled with inter and multi-disciplinary curricula with opportunities for personalisation.
This approach is underpinned by a GCU model comprised of eight design principles and a set of enablers. These design principles will be embedded across all programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
