Attendance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.Type of evaluation
The final examination is a written test, consisting of both exercises and theoretical questions. The course also includes mid-term assessments at the end of each module. An integrative oral examination may be taken at the discretion of the lecturer.Programme
