Cources in English (Murmansk State Technical University)
This academic year students of Murmansk State Technical University were provided an excellent opportunity to deepen their knowledge about various aspects of the European Union activities. They were able to attend the courses developed by the lecturers of the Polytechnic Institute, Law Faculty, Institute of Economics, Management and International Relations, Faculty of Food Technology and Biology within the project "Establishment of the EU Centre in the Barents region of Russia" implemented under the financial support of the European Union.
The courses offered to students vary in topics and cover the history of relations between Russia and the EU, the process of European cities formation and the impact of globalization and urbanization on the modern life in Europe, aspects of modern Russian-European intergovernmental relations and environmental challenges facing the EU countries, topical issues of European integration and European innovation policy, as well as a comparative analysis of the best management practices in EU fisheries industry. In total 8 courses were designed for different degree programmes.
It was the first time for many students, as well as for some lecturers, when they took and gave lectures in English. But such experience certainly proved to be very valuable for both parties of the process. Almost every lecture was accompanied by the students' questions flow that proves the relevance of the topics covered and the interest in such practice.
According to the students feedback, despite the language difficulties that some students had, most of them would like to be able to choose electives in English within their degree programmes in the future.
