  • Worldwide Professional University Rankings Rankpro 2013/2014
    (www.cicerobook.com) Worldwide Professional University Rankings RankPro 2013/2014 According to the methodology, the rating of an institution of higher education consists of three components, which would allow obtaining a full picture of the level of the institution: o Academic possibilities of a university - academic ranking; o Communicability of a university internet homepage – ranking by BC-Index; o University reputation – public ranking. Experts: members of the International Council of Scientists. The interrelation of these three rating components in the overall result is determined as a result of a survey conducted among members of the International Council of Scientists - professors of universities of different types from more than 40 countries.

An exchange program allows students to travel more independently, without a large group of American students creating a bubble effect. There will be no Augustana professor or advisor to guide you along the way, but the local university has offices dedicated to assisting international students like you to become a part of their campus community. The chance to branch out and become immersed in the Swedish culture is what this experience offers.

Ik keek eerst welke landen/steden ik interessant zou vinden om te studeren mbt studentenstad en kwaliteit. Vervolgens keek ik welke vakken ik kon volgen. Zo ben ik bij Uppsala terecht gekomen. De UU stuurde daarna telkens informatie mails voor het aanmelden voor de Erasmus grant etc. counselling & support at Utrecht University De UU reageerde telkens redelijk snel toen ik handtekeningen nodig had voor documenten. Voor de rest heb ik geen counseling gehad van de UU. academic preparation Ik hoefde geen extra vakken te volgen in Utrecht om bepaalde vakken te volgen in Uppsala. language preparation Ik volgde in Uppsala alleen vakken in het Engels, dus hoefde geen Zweeds te kunnen. Wel vond ik het voor mezelf leuk om dit al een beetje te spreken, en heb ik daarom met Duolingo een beetje Zweeds geleerd voor mijn vertrek.

  • Mapping Environmental Humanities Education in the Nordic Countries
    MAPPING ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES EDUCATION IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES Bringing Research in Green Humanities into Teaching (BRIGHT) network A network of 1 2 Why this report? The Environmental Humanities, an interdisciplinary field of scholarly inquiry which examines the junction of humans and nature through humanistic research approaches, has emerged as a major element in environmental-themed research in the Nordic Countries. Environmental Humanities (EnvHum) encompasses work done in environmental history, ecocriticism, environmental literature studies, posthuman studies, animal studies, environmental philosophy, and more. These are joined together in their common quest to understand the relationship between humans and the non-human world and the shaping of that relationship by culture, action, and thought. Our age is facing imminent environmental threats, including global climate change, escalating biodiversity loss, rapid natural resource extraction, and unjust distribution of environmental damage and pollution. EnvHum asks how we understand what it means to be human in these challenging times as well as how humanities can contribute to our understanding of the challenges. The Bringing Research in Green Humanities into Teaching (BRIGHT) network was established to build capacity in EnvHum humanities in the Nordic and Baltic countries by collaboratively exploring methods of integrating Environmental Humanities research into first (Bachelors) and second (Masters) level university teaching and building new cooperative regional teaching programs in environmental. BRIGHT was founded in 2018 as a Nordplus-funded network coordinated by Professor Dolly Jørgensen, University of Stavanger. Because environmental issues are a priority contemporary concern, we need green humanities research to be coupled to teaching. The network will create synergies and connections between the dispersed environmental humanities groups across the region and strengthen the integration of environmental humanities research into Nordic education.
