Make a lasting impact: rebuild your own education

Sem01 (2025-2026) Rebuilding Education

If you have the power to create a new future-proof course, what will it look like?

Traditionally, our time in classrooms and lecture halls positions students as passive participants—listening, watching, consuming—rather than empowering them as active creators who design, analyze, and build. In this course, you will:

  1. Explore a range of academic perspectives on educational innovation.
  2. Redesign existing courses and develop entirely new ones.

The mission is bold: to bring student-designed education into real classrooms. Some of the courses developed in this course may be taught as early as the upcoming academic year—giving your ideas the chance to make a real-world impact.

For more information and course details, go to 'Curriculum' at the top of the page.

“This course let me express myself in different ways while learning about a topic that's not always accessible to students.” 

“You improve your writing and presenting skills, broaden your horizon—especially with cross-disciplinary projects—and actually make an impact.” 

“This course gives us a chance to actively contribute to our education.” 

“This course gets students to think critically and collaborate with professors—very interactive.”
