Target group

The «didactica» programme is intended for instructors and persons involved in teaching at ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich at all levels. Its aim is to promote the development of comprehensive teaching proficiency at every stage of the academic career. Based on a model of the fields of activity in higher education, didactica courses cover the entire spectrum of higher education topics. Many courses, titled accordingly, address specific aspects of selected disciplines or certain target groups.

Courses

didactica courses are designed to last between half a day and two days. They not only provide new input, but also encourage the active processing and implementation of the knowledge gained. Here emphasis is laid on critical and discursive reflection and the application of acquired knowledge in participants’ own teaching.

Costs

didactica courses are free of charge for employees and matriculated doctoral students of ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich. Members of other Swiss universities may attend for a fee if a course is not fully booked.
