Both courses are offered in the first year of the bachelor's degree programme for TUTA & TIJO and will take place during periods 3 and 4.
Places will be given to first year students enrolled on the bachelor's degree programme for TUTA & TIJO who are taking the course Management Information Systems at the same time.
Please sign up 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.
