Dear students,
If you're listening to the new ARTEFAKTa series, you probably already know that we will have a reading week in the middle of the fall semester. During the week of November 13, there will be no traditional classes. Still, there will be space and time for special lectures and seminars, departmental and (inter)departmental meetings, conferences, exhibitions, intensive reading, and everything that does not fit into the rhythm of regular classes. Autumn Reading Week runs alongside Humanities Week, which is subtitled Near the Baroque this year. The programme is being prepared now, and we hope that it will be varied enough for everyone to choose from and that we will meet together, for example, at the Humanities Week celebration, where, among other things, prizes are awarded for the best dissertations.
The second report concerns the scholarship fund and is both good and bad, depending on the angle we look at it. The scholarship fund is not filling up as well as the current situation would require, which, on the one hand, we are happy about because it means that students are studying well. The faculty does not have to assess fees for exceeding the standard study period. However, if the scholarship fund is not filling up, then this is also sad news because we cannot support students to the same extent as before. Therefore, the austerity measures in using the scholarship fund, which was adopted in the spring of this year and aims to stabilise the fund for the next period, remain in force.
On behalf of the Faculty of Arts MU management, we wish you all good luck, well-being and success.
