The ELTE Faculty of Law is determined to provide for contact classes as far as the COVID-19 situation allows. The teaching will initially be organised in a way that provides full flexibility. It means that classes will always be streamed via on line devices (Teams or Zoom etc.), but personal attendance will also be possible until the general laws of Hungary permit it.
Consequently, you can prepare yourself that classes will always, systematically be available on-line, in order to be prepared for the situation that you can not personally participate. However, the teachers – except those who, for the same reason can not travel to Hungary – will be personally present at the premises of the Faculty and you can also join the classes personally. In this way the teaching will be foreseeable, no sudden changes are expected.The worst case scenario is that even the teachers are forbidden to enter the premises of the Faculty, however, in this case we still have the on-line option.
We are testing this system in the 2020/2021 academic year and our experiences are very positive.
