Additional information

Before signing up for this course, check if you qualify for the Spoken Communication English Language Exam. See the following Moodle page for more details: https://moodle2.tut.fi/course/view.php?id=6751 This Spoken Communication in English course (KIE-32016) is integrated with the course Materials (MOL-11200). 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. Students need to attend both courses. Places will be given to second year students enrolled on the bachelor's degree programme for TTI and studying the course MOL-11200. 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. We will monitor the signup progress and an additional group can be created, if necessary. 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
