Developing the Higher Education Curriculum
Research-Based Education in Practice
Developing the Higher Education Curriculum showcases methods for engaging students with research across disciplines. It begins with UCL’s own approach to research-based education, then demonstrates how the framework can apply to various institutions. The fifteen chapters, by a diverse group of scholars, sometimes take a specific subject focus, while others examine tactics from international perspectives, but ultimately draw the conclusion that such curricula not only prepare students for advanced learning, but also for professional roles in complex environments.
