New Course Structures: The UWA Future Framework

The Future Framework has the following objectives:

• To meet the future educational needs of students, and therefore the needs of the wider community, at the highest possible standard.
• To position the University well for the future by reinforcing its international reputation for a commitment to excellence.
• To achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in teaching and related administrative arrangements, for the benefit of staff and students.

The new course structures will ensure that in the years ahead a degree from The University of Western Australia continues to be a badge of excellence, and that our graduates are recognised as:

• EDUCATED: provided not only with specific disciplinary expertise and employability skills but also with a broader understanding that prepares them resourcefully for life and work in a changing and culturally diverse environment.
• ENQUIRING: able to bring to every new challenge an open but critical mind, accomplished in analysing and interpreting information, discovering knowledge, and seeking wisdom.
• ELOQUENT: equipped with outstanding capability as clear, logical and powerful communicators who are highly articulate in oral and written forms of the English language.
• ENGAGED: linked strongly to local, national and international communities in a spirit of ethical participation, social service and responsible leadership.
