The Certificate Programme offers a nation-wide comprehensive didactic qualification in three modules, which follows international standards. It is an offer of the Hochschuldidaktisches Zentrums Sachsen (HDS) and has been developed, among others, in cooperation with the Centre for Continuing Education at TU Dresden.

The programme has been conceived in such a way that it can be completed in parallel with work. About 200 units of work units (AE), comprising 45 minutes each, need to be scheduled for presence and self-learning, over a period of at least three semesters.

After the successful completion of the three modules of the Certificate Programme, the Sächsische Hochschuldidaktik-Zertifikat will be awarded.

The certificate programme is structured into three modules:

• Module 1: Basics in  didactic acting: Teaching and learning in university context  (60 units)
• Module 2: Extension of topics  - discover your individual focus (60 units)

special offer at  TU Dresden:
blended learning workshop"E-Teaching in der Hochschullehre“ (60 units)
