MedCUL

The Faculty of Medicine Centre for Teaching and Learning

På svenska

The Centre for Teaching and Learning at the Faculty of Medicine (MedCUL) supports teachers and educational leaders in their pursuit to develop high-quality educational environments and pedagogical competence.

The strategic plan of Lund University (2017-2026) stresses the need to integrate research and education in education environments where teaching and research qualifications are equally rewarded. A specific area of priority is teacher competency and the quality of teaching and learning (2017–2026 Strategic plan for Lund University, PDF 524 kB, new window).
