Undergraduate and postgraduate education

According to the “Ministerial Order on Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities”, academic staff must create and continuously maintain a teaching portfolio as well as continuously develop their pedagogical-didactic competencies.

At BMI, the teaching portfolio, teaching plans, and visions are key selection criteria in the employment process (associate professors and professors).

The teaching portfolio and continuous professional development within education are an integral part of the annual performance and development reviews for all academic staff.

At BMI, research and research-based teaching rank equally. BMI’s academic staff participates in undergraduate teaching activities corresponding to (on average) 40-50% of their working hours.

Our staff supports the students’ learning by synchronous study activities such as lectures, seminars, practical assignments (lab work), and other – synchronous or asynchronous – student engaging activities as well as designing and correcting exams.

Most of our academic staff are involved in course management. We use research-based learning design methods and tools for developing our courses to more blended learning environments.

Most of BMI’s researchers are involved in supervision of undergraduate student projects with a strong focus on research integration. Students come from study programmes at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, but also other faculties at UCPH and Danish Universities as well as international programmes (e.g., ERASMUS).
