Nat and Tech have published the first curriculum-based teaching schedule

On 24 April, Nat and Tech published the first curriculum-based teaching schedule for the Department of Computer Science, Department of Geoscience and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

In May 2022, the senior management team at Aarhus University decided that the entire university should convert to curriculum-based teaching planning. With curriculum-based teaching planning teaching activities are scheduled and published before students register for courses. Up until now, Nat and Tech have used enrollment-based teaching planning, where the schedule is based on student course registrations and published shortly before the start of the semester. It is a big and positive change for students and instructors that the teaching schedule is now published before the registration period.

The Department of Computer Science, Department of Geoscience and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have participated in the first pilot project at Nat and Tech on curriculum-based planning. The pilot project has taken place in close cooperation between the study administration and the departments. Thanks to the close cooperation, the teaching schedule was published within the deadline of 24 April set by the senior management team.

Looking ahead, Department of Mathematics, Department of Chemistry and Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering will also convert to curriculum-based teaching planning with the teaching schedule for spring 2024. When the spring 2024 schedule is published on 24 October 2023, 34 degree programmes across Nat and Tech will have curriculum-based teaching planning. The project has continued to follow its time plan, which looks towards full implementation with the autumn 2024 schedule.
