An open education faculty offers a two-year associate degree in AI-assisted coding, carrying 120 ECTS. The programme is not a module added to an existing curriculum but a qualification whose outcomes are written around large language models, agent-based systems and generative AI applications, alongside algorithmic thinking, cloud technologies and AI-supported software testing.

The Graduate Education Institute revised its thesis writing guide in 2024 so that every student signs a declaration form, naming the generative AI programme used and the kind of support received. The form is a required document rather than a recommendation, which moves disclosure from good practice to a condition of submission.

A chatbot answers student questions on enrolment, examinations and graduation. The institution is explicit that the deployed assistant is rule-based rather than generative, while research on integrating large language models into academic and non-academic support runs separately at the Student Affairs Department of the Faculty of Open Education.

The staff counterpart of the student guide addresses academics and researchers. On the teaching side it covers learning outcomes, operations inside the learning management system, assessment and rubrics, accessibility and inclusion. On the research side it covers preparation for literature review, structured reading notes, translation, method and reporting checklists, and reference verification. Data minimisation, disclosure and institutional policy compliance are treated as obligations rather than recommendations.

A dedicated research unit was established in 2023 to study developments in data analytics and artificial intelligence in higher education and to run projects, with training planned at several educational levels. The institution reports that the infrastructure of the unit was still being set up at the time of the survey.
