Curriculum development at the university is supported by the Centre for Learning and Teaching

Curriculum development

Curriculum development is a systematic and continuous process involving key stakeholders and ensuring that curricula meet the changing expectations and needs of society and the labour market. At the University of Tartu, we value curricula that are successful and meaningful for all parties (students, lecturers, employers). A good curriculum values learning-centred teaching and supports learners in acquiring learning outcomes throughout their learning journey.
