Pre-class learning is vital for the successful implementation of the flipped learning model. At the course workspace teacher will provide you with materials such as links to blogs, scientific articles, journal articles and book chapters. Each student has to familiarise him/herself with the pre-class learning content.

Employer connections

This field shows as ‘Working life connections’ to the students.

Various kinds of introductions to working life, alumni cooperation, visiting lecturers, excursions (virtual or physical), etc. can be described here.

Exam schedules

There is no exam for the Marketing Management Track studies.
All students have to prepare the literature review chapter for their thesis.

International connections

Lectures by international guest lecturers and industry people.

Vaihtoehtoiset suoritustavat

You have the right to apply for recognition of your studies if you have prior learning (e.g. university studies completed elsewhere) that can be accredited towards the degree you are currently completing.

The recognition of prior learning is possible in three primary ways: accreditation (replacement or inclusion), recognition of informal learning and studification. More precise info: JAMK Degree Regulations, section 17.

Student workload

Marketing management track worth 5 ECTS.One ECTS corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, which means that the load of 5 ECTS approximately 135 hours.

Below are the details of the student's workload in hours
Lectures 30 hour
Group assignments 40 h
Final Literature review assignment 65 h
Total of 135 hours

Content scheduling

You can check the progress and schedule of the implementation if different kinds of phasing is involved (lab exercises, introductions to working life, etc.); indicate when they are scheduled to take place during the course implementation.

Example: Mark here if you have 2 hours per week for the whole group and another two for the splitted group.
