The University Development project complements this by providing training for university teachers in all areas of computer science. It thus strengthens computer science teaching across the board in universities in developing countries. Generally, these fellowships cover one semester at one of these partner universities, during which time the fellow will be expected to study at least four courses offered by the partner university. The fellows thus have all the knowledge and materials they need to introduce the courses they have studied into the curricula of their own departments after they complete their fellowships. This means first that different fellows selected for the project from the same developing country study different sets of courses, and second that they have to share the course material and text books they acquire through the project as well as their knowledge about the new courses they have studied with lecturers from other universities in the same country when they return home.
Fellowships are only open to computer science teachers from universities in developing countries.
