Why Study Higher Education Pedagogy?
When teaching in Higher Education you need a good pedagogical and didactic basis to stand on. When you study courses in Higher Education Pedagogy, you will get both theory and practice that support your teaching and the supervision you provide. As a teacher within higher education, you need to cooperate, work for a networking teacher culture and continuously work with your own competence development. See our videos on the topic:
