Teaching methods
When you register for this course, you participate in the teaching and guidance according to the work schedule. Your studies are rhythmic according to group meetings and independent learning tasks according to the work schedule.
When studying in all ways, final exams are taken in the chemistry section and the theory section.
Employer connections
The course does not usually include RDI and working life cooperation. Depending on the situation of R&D projects and companies, some training tasks may be assignments.
Exam schedules
The chemistry part and the theory part have their own exams.
