When I arrived at work this morning, I had a nice diploma waiting for me that declared that I have been appointed “Qualified teacher [Meriterad lärare]” according to the Umeå University’s pedagogical qualification model. A good start of the week!

In total, there are today 162 qualified or excellent teachers at Umeå University. The total number of employees are 4,051 employees (approx. 2,500 teachers/researchers).
