The theory part of the course consists of a series of lectures and seminars.
Laboratory exercises and a programming assignment comprise the practical part.
The current instance of the course combines students from three degree programmes, IT, F and International MSc.
Assessment and work requirements vary a little depending on the programme taken by the student.
