The CAS in University Didactics supports lecturers in developing their teaching skills in a scientifically sound manner. The programme focuses on key areas such as strategic planning, implementation and reflection on courses. In particular, the programme promotes the independent further development of teaching staff. Participants set individual specialisations and deepen these in a targeted manner. The programme is aimed at both junior lecturers and experienced teachers who wish to expand their teaching skills. The regular duration of the programme is three semesters. If you are interested and for further information, please visit the main page  - there you will find details on the structure of the programme, the modules and registration.

The Teaching Centre offers lecturers at the University of Lucerne free workshops on all topics relating to higher education didactics. The workshops are part of the CAS HSD, but can also be attended individually without registering for the CAS HSD. Please register on the course page using the linked registration form. 

Advanced lecturers at the University of Lucerne can take advantage of this service. In a confidential setting, personal questions about university teaching can be addressed, challenges can be clarified, and specific strategies can be developed. You can enter requested topics on the website, and an external expert will contact you promptly. 

The University Teaching Committee (ULEKO) is responsible for addressing issues related to the development of teaching and university didactics. The committee assesses and promotes new teaching methods and technologies. In particular, it establishes principles for effective teaching.

The University of Lucerne supports courses that venture off the beaten track to explore new didactic and methodological approaches. A course can receive funding of up to CHF 4,000. These funds can be used for the design and implementation of the course, but not as a lecturer's fee. Applications must include a didactic concept and a detailed budget and must not exceed four pages. Innovative teaching projects
