is nowadays a challenging task at many universities. On the one hand
there is an increased demand for educating students in these areas, on

teaching concurrency theory over the last twenty years or so to students
ranging from mathsphobic bachelor students to sophisticated doctoral
students. The contents of the courses, the material on which they are
based and the pedagogical philosophy underlying them are described, as
