Academic mobility allows students to study at a foreign partner university for an academic period, providing them with the opportunity to gain international academic experience while immersing themselves in a new cultural and living environment.
The Office of the Advisors of the International School of Journalism conducts organisational, methodological and consulting work throughout the entire period of study of students, represents the academic interests of students within the framework of the academic policy of the International School of Journalism and assists in setting and adjustment of an individual curriculum.
The International School of Journalism has the smallest faculty and student body. Therefore, currently one joint Committee performs tasks on ensuring academic quality, monitoring the quality of educational programmes and compliance with academic policies, standards, and regulations of the University, as well as on resolving conflicts related to violations of ethical standards in research activities.
