| Remarks: | This module will be offered entirely online and will rely exclusively on asynchronous elements (pre-recorded video materials, digital reading materials, online activities in response to lecture contents). More information and regular updates will be posted in the module entry on Moodle.
Taking into consideration the above-mentioned prerequisites, students are expected to enroll in Study Projects 1 and 2 during the 2nd and 3rd semester of their studies respectively. However, should a student prefer to take both Study Projects within one semester (either 2nd, or 3rd), this
option is possible as well.
