We take pride in our strong teaching tradition and we are deeply committed to preparing the next generation of doctors and scientists for their future careers.
But the extent of teaching responsibilities will vary according to the position category. This ensures high-quality, research-based teaching while also offering academic staff opportunities to engage with students, share their research, and build academic networks.
See our principles for participation in teaching at the Department of Biomedicine (PDF)
At our department, we teach not only medical students, but also students studying Odontology and Molecular Medicine. Thus, we have several opportunities to engage with other disciplines.
Our teaching methods are diverse and include classroom teaching, practical activities, lectures, and both group and individual supervision.
We support a non-hierarchical teaching environment, encouraging open dialogue, constructive questions, and dynamic discussions between teachers and students.
As a teacher at the Department of Biomedicine, you will join a team consisting of a dedicated group of scientific staff, complemented by PhD students and postdocs. Within this collaborative environment, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, and discuss innovative approaches to teaching.

Engaging with students introduces you to diverse viewpoints and novel ideas. Questions and insights from the students can challenge your assumptions and reveal new angles to your research. You might consider involving some of your students in your research project.
Teaching allows you to present your research in a simplified and structured manner. This process can help you identify gaps, refine your arguments, and enhance the overall clarity of your work through continuous feedback from students.
Collaborating with motivated and capable students can bring significant value to your research. They can assist with data collection, literature reviews, and even co-authoring papers, thereby increasing the scope and productivity of your research.
Teaching sharpens skills such as communication and organisation. Explaining complex concepts in an accessible way improves your ability to present your research to both academic and non-academic audiences.
Building strong connections with students can lead to long-term professional relationships. Some students may become future colleagues, collaborators, or even experts in your field, broadening your academic and professional network.
