Opetusmenetelmät

Yhdistelmäoppiminen: kasvokkain oppimisen ja itsenäisen oppimisen yhdistelmä

Ensisijainen oppimisesi tapahtuu luokkahuoneessa luentojen ja työpajojen kautta. Sitä täydentää tehtäviesi riippumaton opiskelu.

Harjoittelu- ja työelämäyhteistyö

Harjoittelupaikkaa ei ole.

Tenttien ajankohdat ja uusintamahdollisuudet

Tenttiä ei ole.

Kansainvälisyys

Opit kiertotalouden ja kestävän kehityksen käytännöistä eri maissa.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

Sinulla on oikeus hakea opintosi tunnustamista, jos sinulla on aiempaa koulutusta (esim. muualla suoritettua yliopisto-opintoja), joka voidaan hyväksyä parhaillaan suorittamaasi tutkintoon.

Aiemman oppimisen tunnustaminen on mahdollista kolmella ensisijaisella tavalla: akkreditoinnilla (korvaaminen tai inkluusio), arkioppimisen tunnustaminen ja opiskelu. Tarkemmat tiedot: Jamkin tutkintosäännöt, kohta 17.
