Curriculum Diagnostics
The curriculum diagnostic is a central component of Murdoch University’s internal quality assurance processes and continuous improvement framework and affects all undergraduate and postgraduate coursework courses. An overview of the curriculum diagnostic process can be found here.
Besides this internal driver, there is also external impetus in that having such a process is a requirement of the Higher Education Standards Framework to which Murdoch must adhere to ensure it maintains registration with the higher education regulator, TEQSA. Additionally, the demonstration of a regular cycle of curriculum review is a frequent requirement of bodies that accredit the University’s professional courses.
The curriculum diagnostic gives Colleges the opportunity to review periodically their course offerings in the light of a rapidly changing environment with the intention of identifying areas for improvement. Courses are examined using institutional data and recommendations made on how they can be better designed to meet the needs of students and industry in a competitive market. Reference to the curriculum diagnostic can be found in Murdoch’s Curriculum Policy located on the Policy and Procedure Manager (PPM).
The Curriculum Diagnostic Procedure is also on the PPM.
In 2023 we will transition to a new quality review process. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Murdoch University academics reflect on their experiences of the curriculum diagnostic process in the video below.
The following curriculum diagnostics have been undertaken since the pilot review in December 2017.
