Course description and aims

The number of students wishing to take this course exceeded the class capacity during the pre-registration period. Therefore, we cannot accept students who were not given permission as a result of the lottery or who did not participate in the pre-registration at all.
We do accept registration by new students (enrolled in September 2020) till the end of the course registration period (till October 19.) However, if the number of students registered exceeds the capacity by the end of the period, a lottery will take place. We will perform the procedure for deleting the registration by students who did not win the lottery after October 20.
