1 or 3. It needs to be active because the subject is the course. Theres very little difference in meaning between 1 & 3 but i think 3 is more commonly used. Will is usually used for predictions, and the present simple is usually used for timetabled events.

1 or 3 depends on how will you use the sentence

1 or 3. But #3 is better.
For #1, usually (but not always) with "will" shows a decision at the time of speaking the sentence.
Example: A: "I am going to the supermarket."
B: "Oh! I will go with you."
"B" decided at the moment of hearing A's plan that B will go too.
For #3, shows a statement of fact (for the future) about a scheduled event.
Similar example: The train leaves at 2pm.
