How does the teaching take place?
On our online courses, the teaching can be followed when it suits you. This means that you log on to the teaching portal whenever you want and work independently with the assignments.
Each week there is a new task set, each of which takes approx. 90-120 minutes to solve.
As a student, you also have the opportunity every week to hand in either a written or an oral assignment, on which you will receive personal feedback.
