Multiplier programme
The programme provides comprehensive training in higher education didactics and methodology to qualify as a tutor trainer (multiplier). The aim of the programme is for trained multipliers to subsequently prepare students from their faculty as tutors in subject-specific, topic-related training courses for their use in teaching.
