Course structure

The course consists of six modules. Each module consists of lectures (F), exercise sessions (Ö), and a seminar (S). Each module is structured as FFÖFÖS, where the seminar typically occurs directly after the weekend. The tab Module in the left bar links to a detailed description of modules.

Each seminar, if passed, gives you one bonus point for the final exam. Here is information about the seminars.

Weekly updates with information about the course is emailed to registered participants.
