Students in Sweden

This week and next, our six master's students are in Sweden for participation in the residential period of the master's programme course Digitalisation of Cultural Heritage Material. They also meet with other teachers and have seminars in courses such as Users and information activities in digital environments and Information Retrieval for Digital Libraries.

Next week, there will be job shadowing at the university library in Borås, followed by a trip to Karlskrona and jobshadowing at the library of BTH, Blekinge Institute of Technology.

The students in Sweden at the moment are: Rui Antonio, Acieceno Chicolena, Lucia Raul, Amarilda Chissano, Irzelinda Mussa and Lasifa Mahuae.

The PI, Horacio Zimba being here, allows us to do further planning, follow ups and analysis.

Coming from Mozambique to Sweden during the Swedish winter, means over 30 degrees of difference. But it seems as if the weather in Borås and Karlskrona will not be too cold nor snowy after all. 

Admission of master's students

As the semester starts in Sweden, we are happy to announce admission of six UEM students to the master's programme library and information science Digital Libraries and Information Services (SSLIS, University of Borås).The programme takes two years to finalize, with thesis writing the last semester. It is a distance mode programme, which means that the students will be studying online. Since the approach is also blended learning, the students will travel to Sweden to take part in a course on digitisation of cultural heritage material next semester. They will also have to travel to Sweden to defend their thesis. But teachers will also come to Maputo to teach. This means that Professor Elena Maceviciute will be at UEM between the 24th and 28th of September for teaching in the programme, but also for shorter sessions with UEM staff. More information on the other presentations and/or workshops to come.
