How are our teaching staff organized?
A key part of the UOC's educational model is the personalized support and continual guidance that our teaching staff provide throughout your studies, helping to create strong bonds and close links with the educational community.
There are two teaching profiles, which work together to ensure a high-quality learning experience:
- Teaching and research staff: they coordinate the course and make sure that the teaching reaches a high standard. They design the content, curate the learning resources, provide innovative situations and environments for learning, and coordinate the course instructors to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the learning process. For vocational training courses, this role is covered by the programme director.
- Course instructors: coordinated by the teaching and research staff, they guide and monitor your learning process in each course. They are also responsible for your engagement in the classroom and provide you withfeedback on your activities. For vocational training courses there is also a course instructor, who carries out the same role.
In addition to the teaching and research staff and the course instructors, another key person who will support your learning at the UOC is your tutor. They will help you plan your learning pathway and will monitor your progress throughout the course of your studies. Learn more about the role of tutors.
