Leaders in Curriculum
Development
UKZN has taken a leading role in curriculum development, recognising worldwide trends and the restructuring oftheSouthAfricaneducational system towards a more‘outcome-based’ approach. Many of the challenges students will face in their future professional life cannot be solved by a single discipline. UKZN has redesigned its curricula to include large elements of inter-disciplinary work. In this way, students will be exposed to a wider rangeofdisciplines, thuswideningtheir choice of career options, and enhancing their understanding of the society in which they will live and work. The new curricula are arranged into modules
that will give them more flexibility
in the composition of their degree package. This will also give them the freedom to interrupt and resume their studies, depending on their financial circumstances.
