Preparing curricula 2026–2028: update descriptions and give your preferences for times and locations by the end of January
The teacher responsible for each course updates or writes the description of the study unit and study unit implementations for the next curriculum period, meaning academic years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. Updating the descriptions carefully now minimizes needs for changes during the curriculum period. Therefore, it is advisable to reserve sufficient time for the work. At the same time, the teachers responsible give prefences for time and location reservations as well as other needs, e.g. for equipments needed in the lecture hall, for the academic year 2026-2027. Teachers responsible update the information on study units and study unit implementations in the Curriculum Planner service.
