TUNING METHODOLOGY: learning outcomes and competencesSteps in designing degrees:

1. Identification of what is required

2. Definition of academic and professional profiles:

translation into learning outcomes and generic and

subject specific competences

3. Translation into curricula

4. Translation into modules/course units and

approaches towards teaching, learning and

assessment

5. Programme quality assurance: built in monitoring,

evaluation and updating procedures
