  • An increasing number of students from Aurora universities attending UP courses. We want to welcome more for the summer semester!

There is an increasing interest in UP education from across eight Aurora partner universities. A record 20 students registered for the courses offered by UP (8 courses in total, 3 of which require physical attendance, 5 are in a hybrid format).

The most popular courses were those taught by Dr. Ankush from the Faculty of Science (Free radicals in Biology and Biomedicine) and Dr. Voráč from the Faculty of Education (Media Education). Students also further registered for the courses taught by Dr. Dušková from the Faculty of Science (Political-geographical processes in the developing world), Dr. Měšt’áková from the Faculty of Law (History of EU integration) and Dr. Mašát from the Faculty of Education (Contemporary literature for children and youth).   

Teachers can also offer their courses in hybrid or online format taught in English

As a teacher, you now have the opportunity to offer other interested students from different parts of Europe the courses you will teach in the summer term.

The courses offered can be for Bachelor, Master and PhD students. The condition is that they must be taught in English and in an online or hybrid/blended format. They should also be thematically related to one of Aurora’s five priority areas of focus: 1. sustainability and climate change, 2. digitalisation and global citizenship, 3. health and wellbeing, 4. culture: identity and diversity, 5. social entrepreneurship.

You can offer your courses until 15 November 2024 via this form. After that, Aurora staff at UP will contact you to fine-tune the details. They will also then ensure that students who choose your course are enrolled in STAG for your course. It will be up to you to arrange with the students to complete the course (especially if you require their personal presence for a credit, project presentation, or other activity) and then enter their grades into STAG so they can receive credit.
