The Language Centre at the Faculty of Science is launching a new course, English for International Mobility and Erasmus (JAERA), starting from the spring semester of 2024. This initiative stems from the feedback of students themselves, who often express difficulties navigating the paperwork associated with foreign trips. The course primarily focuses on language preparation for study stays or internships abroad, but it also welcomes students who have previously participated in an exchange or those who simply want to improve and practice their English skills.
The lecturer Mgr. Dlabolová states: “If you are studying a Bachelor’s or Master’s programme and are looking for an opportunity to develop your language skills, you are very welcome. We expect different levels of participants, which will not be an obstacle to sharing learning experiences. A minimum level of B1 is desirable for you to successfully complete your travel preparation and progress in other key areas. In the course, we will introduce interesting issues from your field of study, basic academic skills, and differences in cultural practices. Not sure how to communicate when dealing with common problems while traveling? We will discuss these practical topics as well.”
The imaginary icing on the cake will be the involvement of a proficient international student as a teaching assistant, sharing insights across the globe.
A team of biologists from Masaryk University’s Faculty of Science have made a significant discovery in the field of biodiversity. As part of their long-term research into Icelandic nature, they have discovered four rare species of terrestrial snail previously unrecorded in Iceland.
A year ago, Science magazine listed altermagnets as one of nine breakthrough discoveries. Now, physicists from the Masaryk University’s Faculty of Science in Brno and Osaka Metropolitan University have come up with results that further advance our understanding of this new type of magnetic material.
