What is a GOMP Online Course?

GOMP courses are asynchronous online courses offered through the EDUC Moodle platform, open to all EDUC students across the Alliance. These courses aim to expand students’ disciplinary horizons and promote international and interdisciplinary learning experiences.

• Is taught in English (recommended level: B1–B2).
• Requires no disciplinary prerequisites.
• Is designed for a minimum of 40 students from all partner universities.
• Includes continuous and/or final evaluation, leading to an official EDUC certificate upon successful completion.
• Will be promoted through the EDUC Catalogue.

• Explore key contemporary topics, especially those related to:

Other innovative and relevant themes proposed by teachers will also be considered.
