The Academic Initiative zSeries Program reaches students globally:
--  In Europe, IBM recently signed Adam Mickiewicz University to join the
    initiative. Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland, is the 150th
    participant of the program with over 20 students enrolled in its post
    graduate Computer Science degree. IBM is training faculty members with
    hands-on mainframe education. The university added IBM's 14-week 
zSeries
    University Program Course to its curriculum to help students find
    competitive positions in the IT job market. This university joins 24 
other
    institutions in 16 countries around Europe that are pursuing zSeries
    education through the Academic Initiative.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong: AFAIK the university above has no 
license for z/OS (or OS/390). What the students will learn ?
VM only ?
