This Spoken Communication in English course (KIE-32026) is integrated with the course Management Information Systems (TLO-11016).
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 during the same periods.
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. 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
