Academic Developments<br />
In <strong>2009</strong>/<strong>2010</strong>, a number of major new undergraduate programmes<br />
were introduced for entry in <strong>2010</strong>/2011 reflecting an innovative<br />
approach to curriculum development and further utilisation of<br />
the UCC credit framework in response to student and employer<br />
demand. Curriculum development at the undergraduate<br />
level was matched by a number of new degree and diploma<br />
programmes at postgraduate level. A number of programmes<br />
have specifically ‘designed-in’ opportunities for progression<br />
and exit points along particular award pathways providing<br />
flexibility in delivery method and opportunities for students<br />
to learn at a pace that meets their particular needs. The new<br />
suite of postgraduate programmes includes a number of highly<br />
innovative programmes designed in collaboration with industry,<br />
local and international partners and professional bodies.<br />
