Updated COVID-19 guidelines
Teaching
In principle, teaching is organised completely remotely until 28 February.
Teaching that is impossible or unreasonably difficult to organise remotely in order to complete the study attainment will be arranged on campus in a group of max 10 people. Arranging contact teaching requires a permission from the head of the department, degree programme or subject area in question.
The permission to organise contact teaching or practices/rehearsals and performances connected to teaching with over 10 people is applied from the dean, or, as regards the Open Campus, from the vice rector for education. Organising contact teaching, practices/rehearsals or performances with over 10 people is possible only if it is considered absolutely critical by the academies, despite the risks, in terms of the attainment of the learning objectives.
