All teachers who wish to develop their teaching practice can sign up for UDTU. Furthermore it is a demand from DTU that you have completed UDTU (or similar) before you can be course responsible.
Remember, however, that you need permission from your pedagogical coordinator in order to sign up for UDTU.
You must be assigned to teach a course/segment of a course (minimum is three sessions) before signing up for UDTU. Furthermore, you should sign up for UDTU half a year in advance of running that course.
I.e. if you are teaching a course in the fall of 2024, you must sign up for UDTU beginning in the spring of 2024. Lastly, you should check that you can attend all facilitated sessions, as it is not possible to skip or swap dates once you are signed up.

If you are an experienced teacher who has already completed a course in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and have several years of teaching experience, it is possible that you can skip the pre-requisite Teaching Lab course. You can evaluate if you can meet the learning objectives for Teaching Lab here.
If you have wide-ranging experience with active teaching and learning methods, and have demonstrated these both theoretically and in practice, then it is also possible to be exempt from following UDTU. You will need to clarify this with your pedagogical supervisor.

No, you have to spend the first semester (re)designing the course, and the second semester running the course whilst collecting and evaluating data from the course.
