TEACHING MODE AND BLENDED LEARNING
As a result of its still recent relocation EHU employs a unique teaching mode. Most courses are taught in blocks so that students’ schedules can include lessons from Monday to Saturday. Academic staff teaching at EHU coming from Belarus and other countries can enrich academic life in this way. Usually a course schedule is published one month in advance. With the help of an advanced electronic learning platform EHU assures the quality of studies through blended learning.
