The information presented here regarding the organization of classes and evaluation modalities may change at any time in response to the epidemiological reality. All changes will be communicated via Toledo, stating the correct information.

Colleges: this is mostly a theoretical course during which the theory will be taught via a combination of lessons on campus and online lessons. Lessons will mainly be digitalised and made available via Toledo, as well as the accompanying powerpoint presentations and thus can be consulted by CAM and HAO (distance education) students. For CAM-students there will be regular contact moments integrated in the program – exact data and hours will be communicated via Toledo. Contact moments may either be on campus or via Teams-meetings.

Distance education: monitored self study. Bachelor Degree students via Distance Education take no lectures, but will receive the study material and study guide and will be in contact with their fellow students (distance learning platforms). Student counselling sessions during the semester will allow you to ask questions about the theory.
