Essentials of Work and Study in Research and Technology 2

WP2a Acad. year 2024/2025 Summer semester 1 credits

The study activities happen during face-to-face meetings once a week with student's Patron - an academic who helps the student in the studies, consults with them both scholarly and organizational issues and helps them with communication with other academics. The Patron helps the student with selection of elective courses that determine the focus of their studies and thus helps them concieve their "individual study plan". Besides that, the Patron helps the student identify gaps in their knowledge which would complicate study in the study plan's courses and directs them towards individual study aimed at overcoming these gaps.

Credit requirements
Active participation in the weekly meetings with Patron. Active and thougthful selection of courses, active self-study.
