Entry requirements

The Intensive Programme in Humanitarian Action is only available to students admitted to the NOHA programme.

Learning outcomes

The learning outcomes of the module are to bring students and faculty together from all the NOHA network universities to create a joint understanding of the work and challenges in the field of International Humanitarian Action.

Content

The course is the first component in the NOHA program and is an intensive 7 days course organised within the framework of the Socrates program. It is an introduction to the NOHA program in general, as well as thematic introduction to the field of Humanitarian action, and a presentation of the participating universities during the second semester in the NOHA program.

Instruction

Teaching takes the form of seminars, workshops, and lectures. The location of the intensive program has the last years been Warsaw. The language of instruction is English.

Assessment

The Intensive programme will be examined through active attendance and a Paper of 2000 words to be handed in two weeks after the end of the IP. If a student fails to achieve the grade pass on the paper submitted she/he will have to write an extended paper equivalent to the ones written by students not attending the IP (see below). The grades G or U (Pass or Fail) as well as ECTS grades will be given.

Other regulations

The IP is free of charge for students paying tuition fees and the EM students grantees. If the economic resources of the NOHA network admit, the students are offered food and accommodation for free during the IP. All students have to pay their travel expenses.

Should a student not be able to participate in the Intensive programme, a paper should be submitted, after consultation with the student’s local NOHA examiner.

Transitional provisions

Members of a course regulated by a former version of this course plan have the possibility to be examined in accordance with that course plan within two years after the closure of the course. If there are particular reasons, such an examination can take place also later on. Normally no instruction in accordance with former versions of the course plan is given.
