Alternative completion methods of implementation
To recognize your prior learning you need to follow the genaral recognition process. Students with experience are, however, recommended not to try to recognize it to skip the course but join the course and share their experience with others. Some assignments can be waived for experienced students case by case.

Industry experts are invited to talk about their field whenever available and suitable for the course content.

Participation in the opening session is highly recommended to get a better overview of the course and the assignments. However, it is not mandatory as typically in campus courses. The sessions are recorded when possible but for potential technical issues this cannot be guaranteed.
Forms of internationality
The course will be offered in English because most of the students are international.
