Academic Development Programme (UEIP)
About this programme:
“Education, training and innovation are central to South Africa’s long-term development. They are the core elements in eliminating poverty and reducing inequality, and the foundations of an equal society.” (National Development Plan: Vision for 2030).
For education to play this pivotal role, it requires committed academics who are able to construct and transfer knowledge through carefully designed and implemented curricula. The University Education Induction Programme (UEIP) is designed to support the personal and professional growth of academics through four specialised modules: Supervising Research in Higher Education, Assessing Learning in Higher Education, Designing and Evaluating Curricula in Higher Education, and Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. The academic home of the programme is the School of Education, Discipline of Higher Education Studies.
