The University of Amsterdam aims to offer high-quality education to all students. The UvA Teaching & Learning Centres (TLC) provide support to teaching staff in the professional development needed to meet this aim. TLC offers educational expertise and guidance so that teaching staff can develop further, in line with their prior knowledge and interests. Central to what we offer is that all teaching staff at the UvA can get the best out of their teaching. This involves more than didactics: developing an investigative attitude towards one’s own teaching skills is also important. In this way, lecturers can continue to improve their skills, based on evidence based, educational insights.
Teachers can develop educational expertise at different levels. The basis for all teaching staff is obtaining their UTQ (University Teaching Qualification), aimed at lesson and course level. Depending on your interest, position and capabilities, after the UTQ you can choose to further enhance your skillset within the same level or develop at another level, e.g. programme or faculty.
UvA Teaching & Learning Centers also support the ongoing (further) development of courses through various programs. Read more about programmes on curriculum level.
