Additional information
CEF LEVEL: C1
Mikäli opintojaksolle ilmoittautuu enemmän opiskelijoita kuin on mahdollista ottaa, karsitaan osallistujat ensisijaisesti opintopisteiden perusteella. Opintojaksolle ilmoittautuneen on oltava läsnä ensimmäisellä kerralla varmistaakseen paikkansa opintojaksolla.
When a course is over-subscribed, i.e. there are more sign-ups than places on the course, then we enrol the required number of students according to the number of 'study points' they have. Students have to be present on the first day of the course to be sure of retaining their place.
Suitable for postgraduate studies
