Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

The Teaching and Learning in Higher Education programme (TLHE; in Danish: Universitetspædagogikum) is a skills-development programme that qualifies participants to perform at level 2 in the national Danish framework for advancing university pedagogy, i.e., to develop and carry out high-quality, research-based teaching in one or more disciplines and contribute to developing, organising and evaluating courses.

The programme is aimed at assistant professors, teaching assistant professors and teaching associate professors. Other academic staff, e.g. postdocs, participate by agreement with their head of department. A completed TLHE programme is required for being employed in associate professor positions.

The programme consists of a series of seminars, individual supervision, peer feedback, the preparation of a teaching portfolio, and an individual development project. Participants can expect to spend 200 hours on this course.

See description of the programme

The TLHE programme is offered every year at City Campus as an English-medium programme starting in January. At South Campus the programme is offered every year in August, alternating between Danish and English. Both programmes welcome participants from the Faculties of Humanities, Law, Social Sciences and Theology.

Project presentations

All participants in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education undertake a development project where they investigate or develop a specific area of university pedagogy. The projects cover topics such as AI in teaching, group work, blended learning, course planning, evaluation, peer feedback, and much more.

Here you can find abstracts and watch video recordings of the project presentations of 2023 and 2024.
