Learner's time use and workload
Workload of the study is measured in a way that to acquire the goal competence of the study, one credit corresponds to an average of 26.7 hours of work done by the student. The actual time needed varies e.g. according to prior competence.
Teaching methods
This study unit starts with an intensive three day workshop on and off campus (3.-5.9.2025 Leppävaara campus and in Nuuksio National Park). In addition to these days we have an online workshop in Zoom on 10.10. (9-11) and final team presentations are on campus 17.10. (9-12).
A Canvas learning environment is used to support the implementation, but it is important to take part in teaching and guidance on campus according to the schedule.
Optional complete methods of the study option
According to the degree regulations (2024), Students are entitled to apply for recognition of prior learning regardless of where, when and how the competence has been acquired. ... At Laurea, there are two different procedures for the recognition and accreditation of prior learning: a) accreditation of prior learning (competence acquired in higher education studies at another institution) and b) demonstration of competence (competence acquired in other ways). The recognition and accreditation of prior learning is initiated by the student themselves. The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence. The student is entitled to guidance for the recognition and accreditation of their competence. Further information in the student intranet.
You may also assess work-based learning as a way to acquire the competence needed. Read more in the student intranet.
