Centre for Educational Development (UPL) offers you, as a teacher, a wide range of courses for professional development of varying lengths. The courses have been designed to challenge and develop the pedagogical skills that are essential for a university teacher.
The courses are organised according to an open model that offers teachers the possibility to choose courses based on experience, needs and interest.
All the courses contribute to your teaching qualification, as an example you produce material for your teaching portfolio. Furthermore, the courses are a qualification for permanent employment as a teacher at university level.
