A full associate degree programme built around generative AI
An open education faculty offers a two-year associate degree in AI-assisted coding, carrying 120 ECTS. The programme is not a module added to an existing curriculum but a qualification whose outcomes are written around large language models, agent-based systems and generative AI applications, alongside algorithmic thinking, cloud technologies and AI-supported software testing.

Account of the practice
This is the clearest curriculum-level record in the material, and it is the only one where generative AI defines a qualification rather than appearing inside one. The distinction matters for the matrix. Elsewhere an institution adds a module, revises an assessment or issues a guideline, and the curriculum stays as it was. Here the programme outcomes themselves are written in terms of the technology.
The delivery model compounds the point. An open and distance faculty enrolls at a scale a campus programme does not, so a curriculum decision taken once reaches a cohort measured in thousands. That places the record high on scalability while leaving transferability moderate: another institution can copy the outcomes, but not the enrolment structure that makes them worth building.
The source is the university's own published programme page rather than a partnership report. It is recorded as a primary institutional source, and the reading it supports is bounded accordingly: the page states what the programme sets out to do, not what its graduates went on to do.

The stated aim is written in terms of AI-assisted development, which is what makes the record a curriculum decision rather than a tool decision.
Evidence
The reported evidence on the effect of the practice. Evidentiary strength varies between practices; it is reproduced here as the source reports it.
A published programme page stating the aim, the level, the credit load and the intended outcomes. No evaluation of the programme is published, so the record is bounded to what the institution sets out to do.
