The University of Nicosia is a vibrant and dynamic institution committed to fostering an environment of lifelong learning and professional growth. At the heart of our commitment to excellence in education is our Faculty Training and Development Unit.
The Faculty Training and Development Unit plays a pivotal role in shaping the university’s strategy for faculty training and development. It is tasked with identifying the training and development needs of our faculty, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their roles. The unit provides a wealth of training and development opportunities, linked to educational research and development, curriculum leadership, and educational scholarship.
Our unit coordinates the training and development practices offered by various training centres and units within the university. We continually evaluate the impact of these practices on the careers of our faculty and the overall institutional environment. This ensures that our faculty members are always at the forefront of their fields, ready to provide our students with the highest quality education.
The University of Nicosia is a learning organization that recognizes the evolving nature of faculty work and responsibilities. We are committed to providing lifelong learning opportunities for faculty members at all levels. We have fostered an organizational culture where all faculty members strive for excellence, and where development is seen as critical to achieving this goal.
Our faculty members are supported through the provision of appropriate actions, opportunities, and resources that lead to their continuous professional growth and development. The objectives of our faculty training and professional development efforts are manifold. We aim to increase individual effectiveness and efficiency, enhance the competence of faculty members, provide quality faculty development opportunities, improve workplace learning, encourage the transfer of learning, create an organizational learning culture, and increase the engagement of faculty members in lifelong learning opportunities.
We believe that by investing in our faculty, we are investing in the future of our university and our students. We are committed to retaining our existing faculty members and attracting new ones by offering a supportive and stimulating environment for professional growth.
We invite you to explore the opportunities available through the Faculty Training and Development Unit and join us in our commitment to excellence in education. Welcome to the University of Nicosia, where lifelong learning and professional development are not just our mission, but our passion.
