Curriculum Transformation

In 2026, UNSW’s Learning & Teaching community is preparing for the upcoming academic calendar change to flex-semesters which will take effect in 2028. At the same time, our new Progress for All strategy sets out that our educational offerings become truly inclusive and empower all our students to become successful, future-ready graduates and positive contributors to society.

As a result, we are all reimagining how we design and deliver our courses and programs. Specific support and resources are being made available to aid these endeavours.

Curriculum and Educational Design

Resources

UNSW’s Curriculum Transformation aligns with the flex-semesters transition and includes three main initiatives: the Pedagogical Principles, Assessment & Feedback and Program Simplification.

To support redesigning and restructuring our courses and programs across UNSW, a set of Pedagogical Principles has recently been defined. These principles rearticulate what we value in learning and teaching and provide a clear framework for aligning our educational offerings with UNSW’s new strategic goals.

UNSW colleagues can find out more on the dedicated SharePoint site.
