Electrical engineering in informatics

Relations:

During a review of study plans, the course Y31ELI can be substituted for the course A7B31ELI.

It is not possible to register for the course A7B31ELI if the student is concurrently registered for or has already completed the course Y31ELI (mutually exclusive courses).

It is not possible to register for the course A7B31ELI if the student is concurrently registered for or has previously completed the course Y31ELI (mutually exclusive courses).

The requirement for course A7B31ELI can be fulfilled by substitution with the course Y31ELI.
