After the programme, you will be ready to manage your organisation’s lifecycle management through data and analysis.

Education content and professional growth and know-how

Lifecycle management is a multidisciplinary degree programme. Its scope is 60 or 90 credits, depending on the scope of your previous education. Your studies will consist of lifecycle expertise studies and complementary management and development studies. Your studies also include a thesis that you can use to solve a problem or development task arising from working life by applying researched information and your own expertise.

Flexible studies

The programme is provided as online teaching, with remote sessions on weekday afternoons or Saturdays. The programme includes 2–4 online meetings a month, and between them you will study independently or in small groups.

Students have a choice of alternative or elective studies offered by partner universities in Finland and abroad, such as other universities of applied sciences (CampusOnline), universities and educational institutions involved in the EduFutura collaboration (University of Jyväskylä and Gradia). Higher level studies completed elsewhere may be accredited as part of your degree. The student must have a certificate or some other document to prove that they have completed the studies. Skills acquired elsewhere can also be described and demonstrated to enable accreditation. Further information is available on the web pages for students.

Working life oriented learning

Learning and development tasks related to the studies are integrated into working life. The study process makes use of active interaction to allow your entire group to benefit from every member’s competence and expertise. Current issues in the professional field are also highlighted by guest lectures.
