Course objectives supported by learning outcomes

The course is primarily intended as an introduction in the study at university. Individual lectures will deal with rather a general theoretical background of the university environment, its objectives, or the requirements for the ethics in scientific research, but mostly with a practical guideline for studying and study life at VSTE. The students will first acquire theoretical competencies necessary for understanding the historical context of the origin and changes in the university environment until its current form, and refresh and deepen the theoretical knowledge in the areas of ethics and etiquette. The second teaching block will be focused on practical competencies, in which the students will learn about the specificities of the study at VSTE, its functioning, structure, regulations, and organization of the study.
