About Our Courses
The KIT Graduate School arranges intensive courses in
relevant and interesting topics chosen by the students and
advisors of the School. We plan to arrange two to three courses
per academic year. Each course is worth 1 or 2 credit points
(unless otherwise stated), where one credit point corresponds to
one week of full-time study. Two courses will be held in the year 2005. (Three courses were held during
the year 2003 and three courses in 2004.)
From the autumn of 2004, the KIT courses belong to the larger
collection of courses offered by the Nordic Graduate School of Language
Technology (NGSLT). Graduate students registered as NGSLT
students from all Nordic and Baltic countries as well as
North-Western Russia can apply for compensation for their travel
expenses and accommodation. The funds are provided by
NordForsk (previously
called NorFA). Travelling expenses of non-members of KIT-GS and
NGSLT cannot be reimbursed.
To participate in a course, whether you are a member of
the KIT Graduate School or not, fill in both the student
form and the supervisor form at http://www.ngslt.org/application/.
Provided that the the course is not full, students from other
disciplines and non-members of KIT-GS and NGSLT are welcome
to participate in our courses.
In case of problems, contact Hanna Westerlund (hanna.westerlund@helsinki.fi).
