Title: David Redmond NUI Maynooth CHIU


1
David Redmond NUI MaynoothCHIU
  • The Universities Perspective on the National
    Framework of Qualifications

2
The Beginning
  • University autonomy.
  • CHIU has been happy to cooperate with the NQAI.
  • The consultation process itself has been very
    informative.

3
Standards
  • Standards cannot be defined in absolute terms.
  • Rely on external comparisons.
  • International recognition of Irish degrees.

4
Entry Routes to University
  • Interface between the Universities and other
    education providers.
  • Access, Transfer, Progression, Lifelong Learning
    .
  • Qualifications leading to University must
    adequately prepare the students.

5
  • Attainment of a qualification is not an
    entitlement to entry to any course.
  • Competing constituencies for a limited number of
    places.
  • The level of attainment on the qualification may
    be a critical factor.

6
Stocktaking
  • Match existing qualifications with the Framework
    document.
  • Many qualifications other than Bachelors, Masters
    and Doctoral programmes.
  • The Adult Education departments offer many
    certificate and diploma courses.

7
Credit Transfer
  • Coherent internal system of credits.
  • Credit transfer is rarely universal, but depends
    on levels and subjects.
  • ECTS is the only sensible option.

8
Flexible Learning
  • Flexible part time programmes need a credit
    accumulation system.
  • Blurs distinction between full and part-time
    programmes.
  • Reappraisal of the funding mechanism supporting
    part-time students.
