Programme description

  • Introduction

    The course has 1 ECTS of overlapping content towards Basic Programming ADTE1400.

    The course has 5 ECTS of overlapping content towards STKD6710 Introduction to Programming.

  • Recommended preliminary courses

    To understand some of the concepts presented in this course, it is recommended to have completed mathematics at least at high school algebra Level.

  • Required preliminary courses

    No additional requirements to the general requirements for the Summer School.

  • Learning outcomes

    After completing this course the student should have the following learning outcome:

    Knowledge

    On successful completion of this course the student has:
