Education must evolve with the times. By embracing AI and digital transformation, we are not replacing the human element of teaching—we are enhancing it. We are giving both teachers and students new power to learn, to create, and to thrive.

Our First Step: Language Reform
Starting in 2026/27, we will launch a compulsory 3-credit course for all first-year first-degree students—AI-as-a-Tool for Language Learning (AITLL).
We feature an AI-powered Language and Communication Competency Assessment (LCCA) to provide timely feedback and facilitate personalised study paths through a structured language curriculum. The goal is to encourage students to reach their full potential.
