We offer a multi-level, evidence-based and practice-oriented certificate programme in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education.
If excellent teaching is important to you, if you want to develop your courses effectively and evidence-based with innovative elements, and if you want to present your teaching content in a clear and varied way, our certificate programme will support you in the targeted development of your teaching skills.
Our aim is to meet the different needs of different audiences: You can decide if a crash course is enough for you, if you want to take the basic level of the certificate programme or if you want to go for the advanced level. If you have the appropriate prior knowledge, you may be able to progress directly to the advanced level.
Doctoral students, research associates, postdocs, assistants and lecturers at universities (FH, PH, UH) who are teaching or will be teaching in the foreseeable future.
Are you already in professional practice and want to gain further qualifications? Then we will be happy to support you with our further education programme. It combines scientific standards with a practical and transfer-orientated approach.
