Additional information
This course is intended for students who have started their studies during the academic year 2012-13 or earlier and have not taken the course KIE-3200.
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 sign-up time and target group. Students on the sign-up / waiting list have to be present on the first day of the course to be sure of retaining their place.
