Additional information
This Spoken Communication in English course (KIE-32046) is integrated with the course Rakentamisen Tuotantotekniikka ja Turvallisuus (RAK-51000).
Both courses are offered in the second year of the bachelor's degree programme for RAK 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 RAK and who are taking the course RAK-51000.
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.
The course is only intended for degree students
