Our areas of work

University teaching methodology

We support teaching staff with any questions they may have about the design of their teaching, or if they are looking for new ideas, wish to undertake further training or would like to exchange views. We firmly believe that the quality of teaching is a key competitive factor for a higher education institution.

Innovative university teaching

New approaches to teaching and learning are being trialled. For example, in the ILEAS project – Innovative Teaching Architecture System.

Quality Management

The quality management system for study and teaching provides the organisational and academic framework for ensuring the quality of degree programmes and their continuous development.

Student Financial Support and Career Service

The Career Service supports students, PhD candidates and alumni of the university as they make the transition from study to work. We work closely with partners from the business world. The aim of student support is to assist students in preparing as effectively as possible for the start of their careers.

A focus on education issues

The Vice-Rectorate for Education brings together information and stakeholders and provides advice on education policy and internal university guidelines, including within the Education Commission. We support the strategic development and quality assurance of degree programmes and coordinate and oversee central development and accreditation processes.

Academic success

Through a range of initiatives and projects, we are working to improve academic success, with a particular focus on achieving gender parity.
