Teaching periods and programme blocks
Each of the four blocks includes an intensive two-week teaching period held at the premises of the university hosting the specific course. Outside these four two-week teaching periods, participants are expected to return home, allowing for full-time work while participating in the programme.
Completing a block includes writing a paper before each teaching period, writing a paper during the teaching period, the teaching period itself and also writing a paper after the teaching period. The first two papers will be presented class.
The teaching periods are intensive. The majority of the teaching days last from 9am to 4pm. Additionally, all courses feature one or more site visits.
More information on study load and assessments can be found under Timeline and Assessment. (NSELP.eu)
