Basic Teaching Qualification (BKO)
The Faculty of Humanities strongly believes in the importance of excellent teaching being provided by highly professional lecturers. The Faculty therefore wishes to give all lecturers the opportunity to further their professional skills. The first step in this process is the Basic Teaching Qualification (BKO).
The BKO is evidence of the didactic proficiency of lecturers in academic education. Since 1 January 2008 the Faculty has required all new lecturers to hold or to be prepared to obtain the BKO certificate. This procedure is also open to lecturers currently employed at the Faculty. The BKO certificate is recognised by all universities in the Netherlands.
