Syllabus is comprised of books, Compendium (a compilation of texts) and online articles.
Required books can be borrowed from the University Library (provide the item is held). Some books are available in E-book format. Books can be purchased from the local bookstore Akademika Blindern or ordered from online booksellers, such as amazon.co.uk.
