ZSKB tutor qualification
ZSKB tutor qualification
Tutors support teaching in all faculties at the University of Oldenburg and accompany students, especially in the first semesters of their studies.
With the ZSKB tutor qualification programme, we would like to prepare you for your role as a tutor and make it easier for you to start your new job. As part of the qualification, you can acquire extensive skills to organise tutorials in a way that promotes learning. You will reflect on your role as a student teacher and work specifically on transferring what you have learnt into practice.
The tutor qualification is organised twice a year.
The courses offered in the summer semester (held at the end of March) are explicitly aimed at students who will be leading or accompanying a subject tutorial for the first time in the summer semester.
The qualification offered in the winter semester (held in the second half of September) is aimed at all tutors - regardless of whether they are leading a tutorial for the first time or again.
