Interpretation of Course Schedules

The course schedule diagram provides information on the implementation of courses. First you select a degree programmes or specific course offering from the pull-down menu. The three letters in front of the name of the degree programme constitute its degree programme code. The degree programmes / specific course offerings are listed in alphabetical order.

After the degree programme, you can select either all the courses implemented this year or only the courses offered for students who have started their studies in a specific year. A diagram will emerge, including the courses which correspond to the search criteria, together with their implementations.
