Competent for AI: Excellent fitness programme for students

"We recommend research-based teaching, which is very suitable for working on problem-solving skills, critical thinking, data analysis, as well as digital and management skills," says Boban Arsenijevic, summarizing the key findings of the award-winning project.

Slavist Boban Arsenijevic has assessed the employability of language and linguistics graduates and developed new modules to improve training. This project has now received an award.

Employers expect more critical thinking, more problem-solving skills and better knowledge of research design from university graduates. This is one result of the EU-funded project UPSKILLS (for UPgrading the SKIlls of Linguistics and Language Students). "We then developed course models and course content to close this gap," reports project manager Boban Arsenijevic. The researchers also provide relevant material and instructions for this. Some of the results were included in the report of the Jean Monnet Center of Excellence to EU decision-makers. Recently, the project - a strategic Erasmus+ university partnership - was also awarded the Good Practice Label for 2023.
