Dear Students,

The following classes will go online. Most probably you have already been contacted by your instructors. If not, it will take place soon.
We are aware that the intensive course by dr. J. Wendland planned for May may not take place. Yet, do not worry. We know that some of you need it badly to graduate on time.

Yours,
Małgorzata Gajda-Łaszewska
