• Discussing and drawing up recommendations on fundamental questions.
• Advancing the development of the University’s academic profile.
• Drawing up position statements on establishing, adjusting and discontinuing degree programmes (particularly in connection with (re-)accreditation processes) as well as position statements on strategic changes to examination regulations, for example changes to programme names, curricular structure changes etc.
• Identifying important goals in the areas of teaching, learning and professional training that can be derived from the Strategic Development Plan.
• Taking action towards achieving said goals.
• Process development and optimisation in teaching and professional training.
• Contributing to the development of part-time study modes, dual study modes and professional training opportunities.
• Helping to initiate and introduce new types and methods of teaching.

The duties and the composition of the Committee for Teaching, Learning and Continuing Training are set forth by Section 9 (Commissions) of the HSRW constitution. The Committee’s areas of responsibilities are defined by the Senate in coordination with the Executive Board.

The Committee usually meets three times per semester, but extraordinary meetings can also be called for specific reasons. Meetings are not open to the public.
