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 a 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 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.

The application for ETP is submitted to the LTH Careers Board and sent to etp@lth.lu.se according to the following deadlines:

  • The head of department statement must be submitted by the head of department concerned no later than 20 December of the year before you want to be assessed. The statement must be marked with the ETP statement and the applicant's name.

The second can be sent in connection with submitting your complete application. The verifications must be marked with the ETP verification and the applicant's name.
  • The complete ETP application must be submitted as a pdf no later than 31 January of the year you want to be assessed.
