Five courses in basic studies in education can be taken as book exams. During the academic year the School of Education is organizing preparation groups for international students (max. 5 hours/course). As a teacher in these groups will be our university teacher Pauliina Alenius. In these groups students can get support and instructions for reading the material.
The book exams are organized as electronic exams. Read more about the electronic exam system at http://www.uta.fi/studies/webtools/electronic_exam/index.html
You can take part in the introductory meeting without enrollment.
