IUIU is Holding a Staff Training on Competence-Based Curriculum Design.

Islamic University in Uganda has commenced a three-day staff training workshop to strengthen competence-based education, in line with national standards set by the National Council for Higher Education.

The training, running from 9th April to 11th, 2026, is taking place at the main campus in Mbale and has brought together Directors of Campuses, Deans, Heads of Departments, and examination coordinators.

The workshop, held under the theme “Institutionalised Competence-Based Education in Higher Education: Values Integration, Innovation, and Strategic Repositioning at IUIU,” focuses on equipping academic staff with practical skills in designing competence-based curricula aligned to NCHE minimum standards.

The training will cover key areas, including the development and assessment of competency maps, drafting Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), and designing curriculum structures with appropriate credit unit allocation and notional hours.

Participants will also engage in sessions on competence-based teaching and learning strategies, assessment frameworks supported by rubrics, and the formulation of internship and integration project plans. Additionally, the workshop will address curriculum alignment matrices to ensure coherence between learning outcomes and assessment methods.

The initiative is expected to enhance curriculum development processes at the university, reinforcing IUIU’s commitment to delivering quality, innovative, and competence-driven higher education.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Her Worship Riziki Nambuya, Lecturer in the Faculty of Law, for her outstanding leadership in coordinating and actualising the Moot Court Competitions.

Her unwavering dedication and passion for academic excellence have been instrumental in delivering a competition that truly reflects the spirit and depth of this year’s theme.

Through her efforts, the platform has not only nurtured legal scholarship but also empowered students to engage critically with contemporary issues in International Humanitarian Law and Islam.

Your commitment continues to inspire excellence and uphold the standards of legal education at IUIU.
