Competence-based Education

The competence-based education framework developed at the University of Hull shifts the focus from what students know to what they can actually do.

The CBE model has three domains: Self Awareness; Disciplinary and Professional Experience; and Knowledge Management, underpinned by our approach to Inclusive Education.

Competence Based Education
Self Awareness
Self-assessment and self-regulation in public and private domains
Disciplinary and Professional Experience
Dialectic action and critical thought to address real-world practice
Knowledge Management
The ability to source, understand and communicate knowledge clearly
