The key themes of episode 4 of this podcast series include developing transferable skills (critical thinking, collaboration, creativity), embedding sustainability and ethics, promoting interdisciplinary learning and bridging academic-vocational divides.
Host Professor Mark O’Hara, Senior Consultant, Education at Advance HE is joined by Professor Beverly Hawkins from the University of Exeter, Dr Samantha Burvill of Swansea University and Associate Professor Chris McInerney from the University of Limerick to explore future-facing curricula in higher education.
They discuss preparing students for rapidly changing work environments through both updated content and innovative teaching methods with a emphasis on building “change-capable” students with growth mindsets, rather than predicting specific future needs.
The conversation also highlights ongoing curriculum transformation efforts across UK and Irish institutions.
