Credo (noun): a statement of the beliefs which guide someone's actions. From the Latin for ‘I believe’.

The MUC teaching credo encapsulates five key ingredients which we believe to be important in successful teaching and learning.

Each element in the CREDO acronym is closely associated with the contents of the document ‘Majan University College Standards for Teaching and the Support of Learning’. The table below shows this relationship.
