The demonstration of competence consists of an essay assignment and a presentation day, where you will give a presentation and complete an exam. There will be multiple dates available.

The essay assignment, the presentation and the exam will be evaluated by a teacher designated by your degree. The content of your demonstration is degree specific.

You will find more detailed instructions on how to complete the course through demonstration of competence in the DEMO Moodle. First, you need to enroll on the Professional English DEMO implementation in Peppi. Then, within a week (not in June or July), you´ll have access to the DEMO Moodle implementation.
