Whole of University and Faculty or School approaches

students on campus UNSW

This page is an introduction to international and institutional approaches to whole-of-university and faculty/ school curricular approaches to supporting student success and wellbeing.

The following video from the April 2021 Scientia Education Academy lecture on 'The Care Factor: Foundations and practice of supporting student success and wellbeing' demonstrates how this could work. 

Whole of University approaches including curricular approaches

  • Okanagan Charter - An International Charter for Health Promoting University and Colleges
  • Enhancing Student Wellbeing  
  • UK Student Minds University Mental Health Charter

UNSW Whole of university approaches to wellbeing 

In the midst of the 2020 pandemic, the HUI co-leaders collaborated with the Scientia Education Academy, students, student support services, educators and Faculty representatives to draft the following. Currently, early adopters are testing the procedures in their Faculties/Schools.  

  • Draft Policy and Procedure on Curricular Approaches to Student Wellbeing, Academic and Career Success
  • The Guidelines for Curricular Approaches to Student Wellbeing, Academic and Career Success are to accompany the draft UNSW Academic Board Policy and Procedure

How can a Faculty or School go about creating a systematic curricular approach to embedding student success and wellbeing strategies in the curriculum?
