The second mission under the Component II Pilot study programmes in priority areas are improved to be more student-centred of the Twinning project was implemented from 8 to 12 April 2019.

               Mr. Philippe Turek, Deputy Vice-President for International Relations and Vice-Dean of Faculty of Physics of Strasbourg University, implemented this mission under the Activity 2.4 Improve study programmes in the priority areas in pilot universities to incorporate learning outcomes and inform and raise awareness about these achievements.

            The mission was carried out to raise awareness of academic staff and employers about the suggested version of the state programme in Physics and further improve the suggested format.

             As part of the mission  a two-day workshop attended by academic staff of Physics faculty of Baku State University (BSU) and Sumgait State University (SSU)  was hosted at Baku State University. During the workshops the academic staff was involved in a broad discussion over the suggested version of the state study programme in Physics. The list of subjects, number of credits per subject and competences of the study programme were particulary discussed during the workshops.

             Furthermore, Mr. Turek also met with representatives of employers to discuss the competences required from the graduates of higher education institutions.

             More meetings involving the Strasbourg University professor and academic staff are planned to be held to further improve the state study programme in Physics in the upcoming months.
