All our courses require you to do some (background) reading. This usually includes readers and/or materials uploaded to the online learning environment Brightspace. In general no books will need to be purchased.
If you successfully complete a course, your grades and ECs will be recorded in uSis (student registration system). You can request your transcript by e-mail upon completion of the course. If you decide to follow the two year study programme at a later stage, you will be able to request an exemption for modules you have already completed.
The results you achieve are recorded and can help you obtain an exemption if you decide to go on to follow the full study program at a later stage.
