This paper explores the teaching environment among the teaching staff in thegeoscience programme at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. The findings in this paper are based on a large baseline study conducted in 2018. This paper operationalises the teaching culture by analysing the teachers’ ideas, collaborations, and attitudes towards teaching. In-depth interviews with selected teachers provide insights into the individual teacher’s conceptions of teaching and teaching experience in the department. The study focusses on how the teaching environment is constructed and perceived in the department. Teachers’ tacit or implied notions influence the teaching environment, and we explore how this becomes visible, at one specific department. Combining survey data and interviews provides insights into the structures and culture in the department. We show that a supportive teaching environment has been established at the department.
