Professional development at Lund University

At Lund University, we offer professional development based on the needs of the organisation. Today’s fast-paced rate of change means that we need to actively support the development of both the organisation and the employee to become a world-class university and an attractive place to work.

As employees, we need to consider our own development, our strengths, skills, goals, networks and more in relation to our work situation. This is important to both the University’s activities and our own personal development in our work.

You and your manager will together decide on the suitable professional development based on the organisation’s current and future needs for development.
