Whether individual advice on general topics in teaching, e-learning, project- and problem-oriented learning, curriculum development or qualitative teaching evaluation: an experienced team of University Teaching Experts supports professors at the HFT Stuttgart in all matters concerning their teaching activities.
In addition, this team determines didactic topics for the university's own annual programme of events. In addition, events such as the Day of Teaching or the awarding of the university's own teaching prize regularly provide new impulses and give cause for further development and reflection.
Events are offered especially for lecturers, providing space for exchange and inspiration on the following university didactic topics: Teaching and learning, examining, advising, evaluating and innovating. Information on the current event program and registration can be found on our Wiki page.
Teachers can find further workshops on university didactics topics at the GHD.
In addition, the "Neckar-Connection", a cooperation between the HFT Stuttgart and the Hochschule Esslingen, the Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart, the Hochschule Reutlingen and the Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Umwelt Nürtingen-Geislingen, provides teachers with further university didactics courses.
The quality of studies and teaching is a central concern of HFT Stuttgart. Our GOOD TEACHING qualification program for newly appointed professors, comprising 120 work units, is therefore also an integral part of the appointment agreement. As part of the qualification program, professors have access to various individual consulting and support services, a variety of workshops on university didactics topics as well as numerous collegial exchange and networking formats from which they can choose according to their needs.
