This paper addresses the demand for reusable solutions addressing reoccurring challenges of curriculum (re)design in the higher education sector. The presented patterns respond to the tasks of considering generic competences in curricula, specifying learning outcomes throughout curricula, including curriculum stakeholder in curriculum issues, comparing taught curriculum content with content that is recommended by international experts of the discipline, and the mutual and transparent documentation of the curriculum implementation in a central curriculum wiki. The patterns were implemented in a real-life setting and the experiences gained were documented in terms of case stories. The patterns and the case stories were evaluated by experts for patterns and curriculum design. Results showed that the presented patterns were perceived as highly important for curriculum (re)design activities in order to develop higher education curricula that respond to curriculum requirements of the higher education sector.
