Management and leadership development

Professional development for those in management and leadership positions at Lund University is offered in the form of a number of courses and programmes. These can be found in Kompetensportalen (the Professional Development Portal).

Demands for well-developed leadership and management skills at the University are increasing. This applies across the organisation, from departments and strong research environments to laboratories and administrative services.

In accordance with Lund University’s strategic plan, leaders and managers in all parts of the University and at all levels are to develop in their roles through training and support.
