Additional information
This Spoken Communication in English course (KIE-32016) is integrated with the Materials course (MOL-11000). Both courses are offered in the second year of the bachelor's degree programme for TTI and will take place during periods 1 and 2.
Places will be given to second year students enrolled on the bachelor's degree programme for TTI.
Please sign up separately for both courses.
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 at the start of the lesson on the first day of the course to be sure of retaining their place.
