About this network

Exclusively for programme leaders, course directors, associate deans, and others in similar roles, this networking community provides a collaborative space to share innovation and effective practice in programme design, delivery, and evaluation.

Join a dedicated networking community of practice for those leading or overseeing undergraduate, postgraduate, or foundation programmes across UK higher education.

Developed in partnership with the University of Warwick, the community offers regular online events and discussion forums where curriculum leaders can share practice, explore innovative approaches, exchange insights, and stay informed of policy.

These networking sessions offer the opportunity to engage in focused, high-level discussions shaped by the latest sector updates, and supported by QAA’s expertise and insight.

Speakers

Katrin and Donna will be presenting both the theory and practical application of the Programmatic Curriculum they have designed, particularly within the highly regulated field of Social Work. In this session they hope to address and dispel some persistent myths regarding what’s possible within PSRB-regulated spaces.
