Good Teaching Award

HTW Berlin honours particularly successful courses and teaching concepts with its annual Good Teaching Award. In 2025, the theme is: "(Campus) Magnet! - Teaching that students don't want to miss out on".
We are therefore looking for teaching concepts that arouse and maintain students' interest and promote active learning. 

  • Which courses bring students back to campus again and again and create a real sense of community?
  • Which lecturers manage to use innovative and inspiring formats and methods to make teaching so attractive that students want to be present, actively participate and surpass themselves?
  • What do contemporary teaching concepts look like that are compatible with students' often busy everyday lives and are still interactive and motivating?

  • Which blended or online formats inspire students so much that they don't want to miss a single session because they offer just the right mix of flexibility and interactivity?
  • Which courses turn the campus into a place that offers physical added value, inspires students and is worth their time?

All teaching staff can be nominated. The nomination must relate to a course that was held at HTW Berlin in the summer semester 2024 or winter semester 2024/25.

  • The nominees or their teaching should be characterised by
  • Student-centredness and support for self-efficacy
  • Promotion of exchange and collaboration
  • Flexible design and consideration of the different realities of students' lives
  • Use of didactically innovative methods and technologies to promote continuous participation
  • Concrete integration of practice into the course
  • Creating physical added value through learning on campus
  • Use of project and/or problem-based teaching concepts
  • Critical examination of social issues and one's own subject
