Contracts for a Tutor are typically set at 0.5 fte, whereas contracts for a Lecturer can range between 0.5 and 1.0 fte.

The workload for a faculty member at EUC is not evenly distributed across the academic year. Do expect a relative higher workload during the periods classes are scheduled (so-called Quads, for in total approximately 32 weeks per year) and a relative lower workload during the remaining months. Faculty members are also required to be flexible with their working days, as the scheduling by EUC of all tutorials is dominant and due to the large number of courses in the curriculum quite inflexible. Weekly work meetings for preparation, coordination and reflective purposes require your attendance as well.
