The course will start September 4. You will find all relevant information on Moodle at this date.
Students without activity in the beginning of the course (i.e., have not completed the first examination) will be excluded from the course. If You realize that You will be unable to complete the course, please deregister as soon as possible, so that other students may be offered to take the course.

Schedule
Four weeks before the beginning of the course you will get access to your schedule www.miun.se/schemasok. Please note that the timetable may be updated until the beginning of the course and even after that if something unforeseen happens.
