Written exam

The content of the courses WI3150TU + WI3151TU is the same as course AM2070. However, the assessment of AM2070 is not the same as for the courses WI3150TU and WI3151TU. Therefore the courses WI3150TU + WI3151TU cannot be exchanged at will: you must first submit a request to the Board of Examiners.

The resit consists of a written exam that counts for 100%.
