At the Centre for University Teaching and Learning, the development of teaching and learning is founded on research-based evidence and methods to support it. We collaborate with faculties to identify development areas in teaching, to create pedagogical experiments and innovations and to examine their impact. The Centre plays a key role in providing pedagogical support to faculties as well as teaching and learning in general at the University, and in developing a better teaching and learning community. The support and assessment of pedagogical development processes at different levels and by different parties at the University draw on research-based evidence. The Centre is engaged in the research-based and systemic development of teaching and learning in collaboration with the University’s faculties. The Centre’s staff continuously enhance their expertise in teaching and development.

The researchers and experts of the university pedagogy have developed the models of generic academic skills in cooperation with study psychologists and career services. The objective of models is to visualise the different generic academic skills the degrees should produce at different stages of studies both at the bachelor's and master's degree levels.

The Centre for University Teaching and Learning offers staff training in university teaching and learning to the University’s teachers and to researchers who also provide teaching. The scope of the pedagogical education providing formal teacher qualification is 60 cr, comprising basic studies (25 cr) and intermediate studies (35 cr).
