Orientation to Doctoral Studies
TST-90006 2014-01


Description:

Students complete the course at their own pace keeping in mind, however, the deadline set by the Faculty Council for the completion of the course in conjunction with processing the post-graduate study application. The course enrolment is continuously open in the POP system. Students can sign- up and start the course anytime. The contact lectures are given on periods 2-3. Depending on the point of applying for the doctoral studies, students can choose if they prefer to attend the lectures, view them online or combine these two options. Beyond the lecture periods, students can only view the recorded lectures from the POP. The schedule of lectures to be implemented in 2014-2015 will be updated to this page later.
