Programme Intended Learning Outcomes Mapping
This document shows which mandatory units contribute towards the programme’s intended learning outcomes. By looking at the relevant units it is therefore possible to
establish how programme intended learning outcomes are assessed. For programmes with limited or no mandatory units the units shown below will be an indication of the
most frequently chosen optional units and how this choice meets the programme’s intended learning outcomes.
