Authors: Curriculum 2027 Steering Group, adapted from work by Joanna Cheetham, Nick Bunyan and Sandra Samaca Uscategui

Achieving fairness in student workload across modules with equivalent credit weighting, and preventing assessment bunching, requires thoughtful co-ordination across the programme team.

This guidance is designed to support programme teams in the planning, delivery and ongoing enhancement of assessments. It encourages staff to consider the overall assessment experience within a programme, ensuring that expectations, timing, and workload are consistent, equitable, and aligned with the principles of the Liverpool Learning Framework (LLF).
