Entry requirements, please look at the syllabus.

If you have a conditional admission, you may not be able to do self-registration. Please contact your study adviser (see contact information below) to get an individual assessment and help with registration, but make an attempt first.

Please find links to schedule, course literature, syllabus and login page to our learning platform Canvas on the page for literature and syllabi.

You have to register for the course in order to get access to the course page in Canvas. The course page will be published during Monday one week before course start.
