Additional information

This course is intended for students in the Master's degree program of Business and Technology. When a course is over-subscribed, i.e. there are more sign-ups than places on the course, then we enrol the required number of students according to the sign-up time and target group. Students on the sign-up / waiting list have to be present on the first day of the course to be sure of retaining their place. The course is only intended for degree students
