LTH's Pedagogical Academy

University teachers (postgraduate students excluded) appointed at least 50% at the Faculty of Engineering/LTH are invited to have their teaching qualifications assessed with the aim of being accepted into LTH’s Pedagogical Academy. Those accepted will be awarded the qualification of Excellent Teaching Practitioner (ETP), and get an immediate rise in salary. Moreover, the department to which they belong will receive an increase in their undergraduate teaching grant. 

Applicants who wish to be admitted to LTH's Pedagogical Academy must show how they over a period of time, consciously and systematically have endeavoured to develop means of enhancing students’ learning in their discipline, and how they have made their own experience in teaching available to others within the academic community. Applicants must also be able to analyse and reflect upon their teaching practices with the aid of pedagogic literature and other sources of information, and show how they have used these to develop their thoughts concerning the teaching and the learning process.

As support before or during the application process, the applicant must* complete a course that covers various aspects of writing a pedagogical portfolio. Such courses are given annually by both LTH and Lund University. For example, LTH's Teaching Portfolio Workshop course addresses all teachers who want to improve their ability to write a well-thought-out and reflective pedagogical portfolio. The course follows the guidelines for pedagogical portfolios as described in the document on LTH's Pedagogical Academy (see above) and within the framework of the course, the Pedagogical Academy will also be discussed. The course is part of the qualification-granting pedagogical education at LTH.

*) Applies from application in 2027, exemption is granted for application in 2026.
