Enhancing Teaching and Learning. Ensuring Quality. Shaping the Future.
Developing Teaching Competence
Effective teaching is built on experience, reflection, and continuous professional development. We support academic staff from the very beginning of their teaching careers and help them design evidence-informed, impactful, and innovative learning experiences. Throughout all stages of an academic career, we offer consultation, professional development opportunities, and peer exchange formats that foster the ongoing enhancement of teaching practice.

Designing Degree Programmes
Future-oriented degree programmes require clear objectives, informed decision-making, and a commitment to continuous quality enhancement. We work closely with the university’s departments in the planning, development, and implementation of curricula and support them in designing study programmes that are academically relevant, competence-oriented, and student-centred.

Evaluating Teaching and Learning
Evaluation is a key component of quality assurance and enhancement at H-BRS. Through systematic surveys, feedback processes, and data-informed analyses, we make teaching and learning processes visible and open to reflection. We support academic staff and departments in interpreting results, identifying opportunities for improvement, and implementing evidence-based measures for enhancing teaching quality.

Enhancing Student Participation through TAP
The Teaching Analysis Poll (TAP) is a qualitative feedback method that promotes meaningful dialogue between students and instructors. Through facilitated group discussions, students identify strengths, challenges, and opportunities for improving teaching and learning processes. TAP can be used at the course level to gain deeper insights into student learning experiences, as well as at programme level to support participatory quality enhancement.
Fostering Future Skills in Teaching and Learning
Through the #future_skills@h-brs initiative, we promote the integration of key future skills across the university’s bachelor's degree programmes. Future skills are cross-disciplinary competencies that prepare students for a rapidly changing professional and societal environment. They are an integral part of the curriculum and can be developed through a variety of teaching and learning formats.
