This course is aimed for teachers with previous teaching experience and prior formal training in teaching and learning (Professional development course 1 or equivalent). As course participant, you have the opportunity to learn more about issues that are relevant in your educational context, such as students’ understanding of your subject or collegial development of your learning environment. You are offered supervision and engage in peer-learning. UL2 Bas is open for teachers from all disciplinary areas at Stockholm University or Stockholm Trio.

About the course

This UL2 Bas module is equivalent to three weeks fulltime studies (4,5 credits). Combined with another in-depth course (at least 3 credits) of your choice, this course provides a flexible way to achieve the required five weeks in-depth studies in higher education pedagogy and meet the requirements for pedagogical merits at University. During the course you strengthen your professional role as university teacher by developing a scholarly approach to teaching-learning.

Course content and structure

The course is designed to be combined in parallel with, or in sequence with, another in-depth course in higher education teaching and learning. By exploring an educational issue that is relevant in your area or field you have the opportunity to learn more about subject-specific pedagogy.

The course includes three obligatory course meetings; two full days on-campus, and one online seminar. In between course meetings, participants are offered group supervision and expected to conduct peer-reviews to learn from and help each other develop their individual projects further.

Upon completion of the course, participants are expected to be able to:

• Identify and explore educational issues relevant for their own teaching and learning practice, using theory and research and own and others’ experiences.
• Utilize and analyse own and others’ experiences of teaching and learning within their subject or context.
• Propose and communicate possible educational development based on the result of exploring own teaching and learning practice and supported by choice of relevant literature.

Combine UL2 Bas with an in-depth course

To achieve credits for an equivalent full UL2 course (7.5 credits), this UL2 Bas module (4,5 credits) must be combined in parallel with, or in sequence with, another in-depth course in higher education teaching and learning equivalent to at least 3 credits. You apply for your combination course separately. The combination course cannot be a Research Supervision course.

In-depth courses are offered by CeUL and the other Universities in Stockholm Trio. This means that teachers at the three institutions of higher education in Stockholm trio have the opportunity to participate in each other's continuation courses free of charge, subject to availability.
