The Centre for Educational Development (UPL) has the overall task of promoting pedagogical development and research in higher education at Umeå university. Through a wide range of courses, workshops and seminars for professional development in higher education we give all teachers at the university an opportunity to continuously develop their pedagogical skills.
UPL has a wide variety of teacher training for developing pedagogical skills.
UPL offers support for both staff and students in the e-learning systems at Umeå university.
UPL is one of Sweden's biggest departments for educational development and we collaborate with many partners.
UPL is currently running three higher education pedagogical projects. All projects run from 2022 to 2025.
Teaching is more than methods and measurability – it is an art form. At this year’s University Pedagogy Conference, The Art of Teaching, we highlight the human, ethical, and creative dimensions of teaching.
The conference takes place on November 6–7 in the Humanities Building.
Contribute to the conversation on The Art of Teaching! We welcome pedagogical contributions of all kinds. Submit your proposal for a talk, workshop, or poster.
The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2025.
