Teaching methods
This implementation is carried out as intensive studies and virtual studies.
One of the intensive studies in one week in Finland and second week in Germany in November 2018 plus virtual studies.
Other intensive studies (possibly in Greece, in Croatia) will be updated here during the summer 2018.
Please sign up for A9269 MKA1811A if you are interested (not here for this implementation), and send a motivation letter in May to the teacher responsible for the intensive studies. Based on the motivation letters, applicants are interviewed and selections carried out. Those selected will be transferred to this implementation (A9259 3001) after selection. After May, you can still apply if there are spaces left. Interviews are then carried out after mid-August.
