Division for Teaching Excellence

The Division for Teaching Excellence is responsible for academic planning within the University and for supporting the intellectual, professional and personal development of academics. The Division comprises two centres: the Centre for Academic Planning and Quality Promotion (CAPQP), and the Centre for Academic Staff Development (CASD). Activities of the Division and the Centres are integrated to achieve a strategically informed, targeted approach to meeting the goals of the University. A key priority is to provide academics with the skills needed to develop innovative ways of responding to a rapidly changing higher education environment. This is to ensure curriculum and academic transformation at UJ.

The Division is aligned with five of the University’s strategic objectives:

• Excellence in research and innovation
• Excellence in teaching and learning
• International profile for global excellence and stature
• National and global reputation management
• Fitness for global excellence and stature.
