Courses and student activities

Our goal is to create an open space for learning to access the best courses and educational offerings across all disciplines within our ten ENLIGHT universities.

Freestanding courses

ENLIGHT offers a several courses that are interdisciplinary with a challenge based teaching methodology. In these courses students work in international teams to jointy adress societal challenges contributing with perspectives from their own academic background. Students practice competencies such as collaboration & leadership, international communication and different methodologies designed to create sollutions to presented challenges.If a student is going to take a freestanding course through ENLIGHT, which is offered in a blended learning format, there is the opportunity to apply for the Erasmus grant for blended mobility.

Challenge Database

ENLIGHT offers a databse of societal challenges identified by the alliance community collaboration partners. The challenges can be adressed from a number of different perspectives and inspiration for challenge based courses.

Students may also, in some cases, contact the hosting partner who presented the challenge with requests for internships or graduation thesis project at bachelor or master level. Should the duration of the internship or graduation project exceede 60 days students may apply for funding through the Erasmus Traineeship grant.
