Visiting Faculty Programme

Visiting Faculty Programme

We introduced the Visiting Faculty Programme (VFP) in 2022 in which we are able to receive foreign professors for short and long-term mobility.

Teaching solutions

• Keeping guest lectures
• Holding a joint course in cooperation with a UPFBE colleague
• Holding an independent course: Instead of the colleague (due to the TÉR (Performance Evaluation System) agreement and mutual learning, he also participates in the class) or announcing a new C, B2 course.

2. Security check: The International Office sends it to the PTE University Security Department (if it has not already been done at UPFBE)
3. Organisation of education: The International Office, together with the International Accreditation Coordinator, notifies the Director of Institution, Programme Leader and the Vice-Dean of Educational Affairs. After the decision, the director of the institute consults with the UPFBE institute lecturers, and the International Office connects the incoming and receiving lecturers.
4. Implementation: conclusion of a contract (Memorandum of Understanding, Exchange Agreement, Etc.), organization of the established support form, management of administration. Responsible: International Office

Please note

The VFP programme includes three kinds of academic mobility:

1. Visiting Lecturer,
2. Visiting Scholar,
3. Visiting Professor,

but this application surface only focuses on the first option since the other academic mobilities are only available in a frame of invitation.
