At the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD students are expected to contribute to the teaching activities at the department in the form of teaching assistance. Each PhD student should typically deliver 300 hours in teaching assistance during their studies.

The actual decision about the level of individual involvement lies within the sections. As a PhD student, you should not understand teaching assistance as a mere obligation or duty work but as part of your education. It is what a university can offer as hands-on training in teaching, communicating and directing. It is one of the universities' main channels for disseminating advanced scientific knowledge beyond the research communities. 300 hours provide a sound basis to achieve this. 

The requirement to do other forms of dissemination as stated in the ministerial order is not affected by this. See the information by GSTS concerning suggested forms of dissemination. 

See the corresponding information on the web page of the Ministry of Research and Education.
