The theoretical part will be available in an e-learning format with pre-recorded videos, texts, and feedback exercises for you.
The lab part will be a flipped-lab with online videos for you to prepare for the lab.
That may sound stressful, but do not worry! You will be taught all this material, you will get intensive tuition, and your tutor will be there to support you throughout.
