In our Advanced Functional Programming module, we secretly teach students dependent type theory and even univalent foundations, without the students knowing we are doing this. Or the people who allow us to teach this module. 🙂
In any case, this has been rather successful in practice with most students, and with some of them choosing to do MSci (or even BSc!) dissertations based on this.
