Hi Nicole
Like Phil, I would simply call what you describe ‘a programme’. In the UK I think, in general, that ‘a programme’ refers to a well-defined, planned and mapped series of courses that
each contribute to an overall set of learning outcomes. Most ‘degrees’ are NOT programmes, but rather are ‘general’ areas of study.
EG in Glasgow, the vet school delivers ‘a programme’ that is essentially the same for every student, whereas the business school ‘offers courses that add up to a degree’… roughly speaking.

Subject: Re: “learning trajectory”, what does it mean to you?
Hi Nicole,
Just an off the cuff thought here, but is this not simply a programme? I appreciate that historically programmes can sometimes be more like conglomerations of disparate modules (maybe this why terms like trajectory and pathway are come
into use), but used correctly there is something more coherent implied in the word programme. Is a trajectory or pathway simply a well designed and mapped programme?
Hope that’s helpful,
Phil
