Teacher's information
This course is designed especially for exchange students who do not fit into the MPH_AHMR Human Resources Management course limit.

Lectures in this course are shared with the course MPH_AHMR Human Resources Management. The MPH_AHMR Human Resources Management course has also regular seminars and group project work during the semester.

Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "N" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.

The course is also listed under the following terms Spring 2022, Spring 2023, Spring 2024.
