Innovating teaching
Quality projects & measures in teaching
The University of Wuppertal responds to social developments and challenges with innovations in teaching. Lecturers receive support in formulating their ideas in the form of proposals and in acquiring internal or external programme funding for their implementation. Strategic, structural and technical developments that have already been initiated or implemented in teaching at the University of Wuppertal are taken into account. This promotes organisational learning and the exploitation of synergies.
Internally funded quality projects & measures
The rectorate has set up an internal fund to enable innovations in teaching. This BUW Teaching Innovation Fund (LEHRIS) provides regular financial opportunities in three funding lines to develop and test ideas for teaching and evaluate their effectiveness.

Furthermore, the Rectorate, together with the faculties, permanently finances quality measures in the introductory phase of studies (QSP), which have proven to be effective in previous projects and primarily serve to identify and refresh school knowledge relevant to academic success.
