Intended Learning Outcomes

In the outcome-based approach, curriculum design of a programme begins with defining the student learning outcomes. Intended learning outcomes (ILOs) are statements of a learning achievement and are expressed in terms of what the student is expected to achieve on completion of the programme, that provide clear information about student attainment – the knowledge, skills and essential qualities.

Student learning outcomes enable students to know the answers to the following questions:

	What kind of knowledge & skills should they demonstrate upon completion of the programme?
	What level of performance should they achieve?
