The University of the Free State (UFS) Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is introducing a free Enterprising your Degree: ePortfolio Development Module (EDED3722) on its Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa campuses during the second
CTL graduate progamme
semester to prepare final-year students for the workplace.

EDED3722 is an eight-credit module that will assist students to
• assess their undergraduate skills and promote themselves to employers, investors, and peers; and
• create their own website that exhibit their abilities as well as an outstanding professional LinkedIn profile.
Students will also receive frequent feedback on these activities, as well as potential career guidance. However, successful candidates must attend weekly sessions and submit assignments on a regular basis.

If you are interested in this pilot project and meet the requirements, please complete the questionnaire, check your UFS4life email for a communication from EDED@ufs.ac.za, follow the instructions, and complete the DV form. You will receive an email after your registration is complete.

For additional information, please contact EDED@ufs.ac.za.

Ten members from the University of the Free State's (UFS) Lipid Biotechnology Research Group in the Department of Microbial, Biochemical and Food Biotechnology will be presenting their research  on yeast nanorobotics (nanotechnology) at three international conferences in Europe during May and June 2006.

 

It is one of the biggest group of students from the department to present their research overseas.  

The conferences to be attended include the 2nd International Conference on Non Mammalian Eicosanoids, Bioactive Lipids and Plant Oxylipins held in Berlin, Germany; the 3rd European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM-2006) held in Lisbon, Portugal and the 25th International Specialised Symposium on Yeasts (ISSY 2006) held in Helsinki, Finland.  The UFS Lipid Biotechnology Group is also co-organising the conference in Berlin.
