Course material

On Moodle platform

Study forms and methods

Scheduled track:
You will attend teaching and guidance sessions as specified in the weekly schedule.
Your study routine is determined by the scheduled group sessions and by the self-study assignments.

Independent track:
You can speed up your studies by, for example, choosing independent modes of completing assignments, e.g. online, or by selecting courses from the schedule of another group.
Independent learning assignments require more self-study of the subject field compared with the learning route that is based on a working week.
