Forms of internationality
The course instructor is seeking for opportunities to teach the course in a classroom setting in campuses around the world.
The course has been taught in a classroom setting for example in New Delhi India at IILM in November 2017 (https://www.iilm.edu/) at the WSG University of Economy in Poland in 2012-2015 (http://www.cwz.wsg.byd.pl/en/homepage.1.html). The course was planned to be taught in Chile in the Spring of 2020, but corona cancelled the trip.
In 2020 the course will be taught and available in co-operation with campusonline.fi to students in all the universities of applied sciences in Finland. The course will also be promoted at different international venues and interested parties are encouraged to enroll and familiarize themselves with the content.
Students workload
The course has been designed to be time and place independent.
Within the start and end times, the student can choose when to start and when to finish and when to study. Please make a plan to ensure that you allocate enough time for your studies.
