Lisätietoja
This course is part of the Minor Program "Creating Sustainable Business Solutions", a collaboration between VAMK and Avans Hogeschool. For the group of students taking the Minor this course will support the "Project Assignment". The team building will be part of this course and you will also get the tools for the team assignments.
The course is also open for Campus Online students and VAMK Open UAS students. This group will team up with each other and will get a team assignment to work on in this course.
So, the team assignment will differ, but otherwise the content is the same for both groups.
