Learning Resources C-BAss project

The University of Cambridge has around 25,000 students over 12,000 staff, 31 Colleges and 150 Departments, Faculties, Schools and other institutions. The University is a confederation of Schools, Faculties, Departments and Colleges.

We started with a clean slate which was so refreshing. The History programme had developed around ensuring students had a breath of knowledge both temporally and spatially, and around staff research interests.

We transformed four biosciences undergraduate BSc programmes as a collated portfolio: Biochemistry, Biology, Marine Biology, and Zoology. These programmes share teaching staff and modules, but have student cohorts with distinct interests, expectations, needs, and aspirations.
