Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Participants will take part in 2 written Exams:
- Part I (early Dec.): Interstellar Medium
- Part II (late Jan): Milky Way
The course also includes practical sessions including paper discussions and hands-on exercises.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Minimum:
- Pass both Part I & II written Exams (>50% points)
- Actively participate in the Practical sessions including paper discussion and hands-on exercises.
- Final grade = Exams (60%) + Practical sessions (40%)- Grading scheme:
(percentage) = (points)
89-100% = 1
76-88% = 2
63-75% = 3
50-62% = 4
0-49% = 5
