We would like to inform you that as of January 1, 2025, the University of Warsaw is implementing the “Integrated Teaching Development Program – ZIP 2.0,” co-financed by the European Social Fund under the European Funds for Social Development 2021–2027 (FERS) program (contract number: FERS.01.05-IP.08-0365/23-00). The ZIP 2.0 program covers 47 study programs, and the University of Warsaw will receive a total of 50 million PLN for its implementation through the National Centre for Research and Development. Its goal is to adapt the educational offer to the needs of the economy and labor market, as well as to support green and digital transformation.
The American Studies Center is participating in this initiative by modernizing the curriculum for the American Studies undergraduate (BA) program. The program will be implemented from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2029, covering two full education cycles. As part of ZIP 2.0, the curriculum for the American Studies undergraduate program has been modified for students starting their studies in the 2025/26 academic year.
Planned activities will include the organization of additional educational components (such as workshops, meetings with employers, tutoring, study visits to other universities and research institutions, and the introduction of new elective courses) to enhance students’ competencies and support the achievement of the intended learning outcomes for the program.
The ZIP 2.0 also aims to enhance the competencies of the academic staff involved in teaching of the American Studies program by developing their digital and didactic skills, including the use of modern teaching methods.
