Methods of Teaching

The teaching and learning methods will as far as possible be problem based: Taking topics and problems of current interest as our starting point, teaching will be organized as a recurrent cycle of discussion, study, instruction, research and academic production, guided by university academic staff. The academic environment should strongly support students' presentation of their thoughts, arguments and academic products. Theoretical work should develop as a response to their involvement and interest in problems facing humanity today. Thus, the ability to ask pertinent and essential questions and a versatile, problem-solving capacity will be of great importance. Academic advising is an important part of our Master's Degree Program, and all students will be appointed an academic adviser in the course of the first year of study. Supervision is to be given both through seminars and individual supervision.
