The Postdoc Corner brings together practical resources for postdoctoral researchers at OsloMet: where to find research news and support, how to build formal teaching competence, where to take an innovation idea, and which external courses and events are worth following.

University and College Pedagogy Basic Competence (UHPED)
UHPED is OsloMet’s programme in university and college pedagogy, run by the Faculty of Social Sciences. It gives basic competence in teaching and supervision in higher education and is relevant for postdocs who teach, supervise or plan a career in academia. Reduced-scope options (UHPED6010 and UHPED6020) exist for those who need only part of the full programme. Application deadlines and start dates change from year to year, so check the programme page before planning.
