Annual teaching planning cycle

The annual teaching planning cycle is divided into planning cycles for the degree programme steering group and teachers. 

The planning cycles list tasks and functions recurring annually or every few years. In a planning cycle, on the left, you can see the themes under which tasks are grouped, and a link to pages with further information. The content is colour-coded as follows: 

• blue denotes action by steering groups or teachers
• green denotes useful information for them
• orange denotes decisions to be taken by steering groups, faculty councils or other administrative organs at the University  

The planning cycles for steering groups and teachers differ only in terms of the colouring of the tasks, indicating an active role for either steering groups or teachers. 

The dates in the planning cycles refer to rough schedules. Detailed dates are provided each academic year. The schedules may also vary by faculty and degree programme. Besides the University-level planning cycles, degree programmes and units may have their own with details on matters relevant to them.

It is recommended to view annual planning cycles on a large screen or on a A3 size paper print.
