The idea of a life-wide curriculum is proposed as a concept for higher education curriculum that maximises opportunity for the most inclusive concept of learning. It goes someway to addressing valuing 'self' in the higher education learning experience and recognises that we need to support and encourage learning to be and become as well as learning about in the higher education enterprise.
The idea is presented as work in progress and it is a logical extension of the 'learning for a complex world' idea that SCEPTrE is basing its R&D enterprise on. The current life-wide model contains four elements.
- academic
- practice
- complementary
- rest of life

The life-wide curriculum also has the gretest potential for fostering and recognising learners' creativity.
