Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the factors which may effect, stimulate or be the cause of curriculum changes in higher education in Scotland. This overview leads to a series of questions which could be used to encourage debate within and across institutions on strategic developments which may enhance and inform the development of and support for the curriculum. The paper begins by offering a definition of the term 'curriculum' before identifying the current areas of influence on how the curriculum, in its broadest sense, is shaped and delivered. This paper provides an outline of some of the different approaches to the design and delivery of the curriculum which enhance the student experience in Scottish higher education, but which will have a wider relevance to HE in the UK and perhaps beyond.
