The Strategy and Innovation Division of the RPTU’s Office of Instructional Development and Quality Assurance promotes the further development of academic programs and teaching, on the one hand by supporting the implementation of the university’s strategic guidelines across the entire RPTU, and on the other hand by contributing to the further development of academic programs in accordance with the needs of faculty members and students.
Based on current research findings, trends, and analyses, as well as dialogue with faculty and students, we develop proposals for strategic priorities in academic programs and teaching, as well as support measures at the university level.
Currently, we are focusing on the following topics, among others:
- Certificates earned during the course of study
- Successfully designing academic pathways (current focus: greater flexibility in scheduling)
- Student engagement and participation; systematic student involvement
We are also responsible for coordinating internal funding programs as well as securing and implementing key externally funded projects in the area of academic programs and teaching.
