Abstract

Curriculum transformation projects have become a current theme for many universities who are trying to innovate and future proof their education proposition. Yet, curriculum remains a somewhat abstract concept unless we consciously consider all human actors involved in the education. In our paper, we will bring up the debate about humanness and people centricity essential for curriculum design with examples from business and legal studies.
