I³ProTeachING

I³ProTeachING is TU Hamburg’s flexible, teaching-focused professional development programme, launched by the Executive Board in 2019 to sustainably ensure high-quality teaching and to best support student learning. Over the course of 60 hours and a maximum duration of two years, early-career academic staff receive tailored, network-oriented, needs-based, evidence-informed, and practice-oriented training.

The programme includes an initial consultation, hands-on workshops, accompanying components such as reflection, peer observation, and a practical teaching project, as well as a formal closing event – all coordinated by the Centre for Teaching and Learning in cooperation with the Graduate Academy.

Tutor Training Programme

The semester-long training sessions for tutors are specifically designed to prepare students for their teaching roles while also offering the opportunity to earn two credit points within the Non-Technical Courses programme. In addition to providing valuable qualifications relevant to the job market, the trainings focus on developing personal competencies such as group facilitation, communication, and self-reflection.
Tailored training sessions are offered for tutors supporting projects, PBL (problem-based learning), lab courses, and tutorials (e.g. in electrical engineering, mathematics, mechanics), in cooperation with the Engineering Education Research Group. These trainings contribute to long-term academic staff development, as many tutors later go on to work as academic staff members.

Please note that the tutor training programme is offered in German.
