Abstract
Universities are increasingly required to respond to market forces, such as employer and employee expectations. One such solution is to incorporate a vendor-based curriculum as part of a university award. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to this response. The article analyses such an approach and includes an international comparison. The survey findings reveal that a majority of students, academics and employers support the integration of vendor-based curricula in university education, where the curriculum emphasises a more academic approach with a complementary, vendor specific, practical component.
