Academic Strategy 2018-2022



Student learning and research will be facilitated through a Connected Curriculum that aligns with demand, university priorities and effective assessment practices.

Implementation is managed under six priorities


UCC's Academic Strategy (2018 - 2022) was launched on 4th December 2018, following almost a year of development, and sets out a roadmap for our academic ambitions over the coming years. It focusses on six key priority areas:

  1. Develop a Connected Curriculum, building on existing strengths and best practice globally.
  2. Align the Academic Portfolio with demand and with teaching and research priorities.
  3. Constructively align effective Assessment practices with learning outcomes. 
  4. Facilitate students' development of core values and Graduate Attributes.
  5. Establish a student Enrolment Plan that aligns with student recruitment targets.
  6. Reform Academic Governance such that innovation is enabled, coherence is restored and risk is reduced. 

The implementation of this strategy will be achieved by breaking each goal down into a number of discrete actions each led by a didcated team of staff and student representatives. Delivering these actions will involve working with all Schools and Colleges, and with individuals; the development of metrics; and regular reviews. Updates on activities that we are undertaking to implement the Academic Strategy will be provided on this page and at Information Sessions hosted by the Deputy President & Registrar.
