About us

For more than 20 years, Niels Brock has offered a range of British university degrees in cooperation with De Montfort University, Leicester. We are currently offering BA (Hons) Business Administration and BSc (Hons) Business.

Our students are international and primarily from South Asia. They come to us with a diversity of educational, ethnic, and religious backgrounds as well as having English as their second language. We are dedicated to delivering world class education through inclusive and cross-cultural instruction methods that require pedagogical as well as didactic flexibility.

The requirements for the position

The requirements for this position are that you possess:

• A master's degree
• The ability to speak and write English fluently (Danish is not a requirement.) Note that conversational English capability differs from mastery of the language at a sufficiently high level to teach in an academic setting. This position demands exceptionally strong English language speaking and writing skills.
• Relevant college-level teaching experience; research experience is a plus
• Administering courses in a hybrid online/onsite format
• The desire to develop and test online course materials
• Danish work and residence permits
• A talent for cultural understanding and working cooperatively with a diverse group of colleagues and students from not only Europe and Asia but from all over the world.

About you

You are an aspiring or experienced tutor who genuinely enjoys interacting with adult international students. In addition to excellent communicative skills, you have a keen eye for details and deadlines as well as a natural focus on continuous improvement. As a colleague you are team-oriented and helpful with a keen interest in knowledge-sharing.
