Heriot-Watt University has a requirement for a cloud based Global Curriculum Management system (GCM). The GCM System is required to support the life cycles of our programmes and courses from cradle to grave from first conception through all areas of approval, quality assurance, marketing, delivery and retirement.

The GCM system will enable seamless transitions to academic review, quality processes and the approval of fees and resources and will help staff steer proposals through the separate regulatory frameworks of our three home countries in the UK, Malaysia and Dubai.

Heriot-Watt University is a Higher Education institution with five campuses across UK, Dubai and Malaysia. The University currently uses a bespoke curriculum management system which meets three key objectives, to be a single source of truth for approved programme and course descriptions, to support the approval processes and to support single data-entry through a push of data to the student records system. The Heriot-Watt University curriculum has evolved to offer more diversified study options for students and is subject to more complicated regulatory regimes. Heriot-Watt University therefore requires to procure and implement a modern and flexible cloud based solution for Global Curriculum Management which meets the demands of an International University.
