The Curriculum Committee is a standing committee responsible for the overall supervision of the University’s curricula. It oversees curriculum development policies, evaluates proposals for new academic programs submitted by the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs (VRAA) on behalf of the academic departments, and undertakes major and minor revisions of existing undergraduate and graduate degree programs while maintaining high academic and course quality standards.

The Committee’s work is guided by the curriculum guidelines submitted for review, with particular attention to the academic structure and coherence of proposed programs. Once its report is finalized, the VRAA presents the project to the Academic Committee for further study and validation. The Committee also makes recommendations regarding the credit system and grading policies, and promotes ongoing collaboration among the University’s faculties on curriculum-related matters.

In accordance with Article 10.5 of the Academic Affairs Rules and Regulations, the Curriculum Committee is convened and chaired by the VRAA and composed of the spokespeople for curriculum affairs in the faculties, who are appointed by their respective deans. It meets at least three times a year, with a quorum of half the members required for deliberation. The Assistant to the VRAA attends as an observer and prepares the meeting minutes under the VRAA’s supervision.
