Excellence in Pedagogy

The ECPR Methods School aims to achieve pedagogical excellence through:

The recruitment of top-rated Instructors, with a diversity of profiles, is not only recognised as experts in their field but also as pedagogues.
The selection of qualified teaching assistants with applied research experience.
The opportunity to interact with your Instructor and Teaching Assistant(s) on a daily basis.
Interactive pedagogy with courses in seminar format, capped at a maximum of 25 participants.
Detailed information in extensive course outlines.
Provision of ample preparatory reading material before the course.
The opportunity to meet Instructors and Teaching Assistants from other courses through the plenary programme and other informal situations.
The possibility to cross-fertilise with other methodological approaches, through various events in the plenary programme.
An extensive online evaluation survey, which enables the Methods School Directors to get a precise evaluation of each course, and to improve the course programme year on year.
Openness to suggestions: in the online survey, participants may suggest topics for new courses.
Transparency in the evaluation: participants receive a summary of overarching trends in the survey and planned improvements for the next event.
