Section outline

  • In this section you find information especially directed to new students

    All students in the programme will be offered Peer-Assisted Study Sessions during the first semester. A second-year student will schedule sessions each week for you. I encourage all students to attend these sessions, but especially for those of you who are having any problems with getting started with academic studies in general or in particular with some of the course content.
