1 Elective Courses

The language courses require a certain level of language acquisition indicated in the course specifications. Please always contact the teacher before the start of the course. Language courses also expect an active presence in class. So do not take overlapping courses. Finally, it is also important to be present from the start of the semester. This makes it possible to get acquainted and assess language levels properly.
