The beginning of the course in theoretical contacts and independently performed learning tasks. During this time, the student completes a theory-based individual assignment (questionnaire) and after the theory part there is an exam. .

20 - 40
lThe assessment in the course is based on the competence demonstrated in the exam (60 %, 3 ECTS credits), in independent learning assignments (40 %, 1 ECTS credits) and in learning assignments made in pairs (1 ECTS credits).
The independent learning task focuses on the concepts of the subject area in a questionnaire with multiple-choice and false/true questions. You are free to use any material to solve your questions. The assignment can be completed in parts, the assignment can be interrupted and returned during the course. However, we recommend that you complete the task before the exam. You will know immediately after answering whether the answer is correct, but not the correct answer. You will receive a score and correct and incorrect answers as soon as you return all the answers to the questionnaire. Personal feedback (right / wrong) will therefore come when you return the answers for review. Corrective personal feedback, i.e. the correct answer after the response time has ended.
The exam emphasizes calculation and competence in recording business transactions. The exam is taken at the given exam time, without supporting material and it is time-limited (1h 45min). As a personal feedback, you will receive an exam result score by question and brief comments on any errors that have led to any point deductions.
The pair work emphasizes the application of theory. The task is evaluated pass/fail. The evaluation criteria for the approved performance are reviewed separately and in more detail at the beginning of the course.
All assessed parts must be completed with pass to complete the course.

Typically, these are peer-reviewed academic journal articles and materials prepared by the instructor. The course may also require students identify and read peer-reviewed journal material that they themselves gather from reliable academic sources (i.e., library databases).
Barbara Crawford

Students have a choice of alternative or elective studies offered by partner universities, 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 in the Study Guide.
During the studies students can have individual study paths depending on which areas of tourism industry they wish to focus on. Internationalization is a central part of the studies through international exchange and practical training. Students can also deepen their knowledge by attending diverse working life projects, event production and international study tours.

Working life oriented learning is included in bachelor’s degree courses throughout the studies. These include practical training to promote professional skills, the thesis and various working life projects. At JAMK University of Applied Sciences, the operating model for working life oriented and student-driven learning is called JAMK Future Factory®. It combines working life operators, students, JAMK experts and working life oriented LAB environments and other learning environments. In addition to multidisciplinary and working life oriented project studies, it offers students a chance to develop their future working life skills, career paths and networks.
Studification is also among the options offered by working life oriented learning. It refers to combining work, project work, Future Factory activities, etc. with studies. Studification involves students drafting a studification plan and documenting it in the manner agreed with the teacher. Further information is available in the Study Guide.

Bachelors of Hospitality Management also have good capabilities for working as entrepreneurs in tourism. Job titles include, for example, team leader, congress manager, hotel manager, product developer, customer service manager, reception manager at a hotel and event coordinator.
There are no specific degree-related or statutory qualification requirements in the field.
Students may, after graduation and a work career of at least two years, continue their studies in a Master’s degree programme. A Master’s degree from a university of applied sciences is a higher post-secondary degree. Studies can also be continued by applying for a university Master’s degree programme or similar programmes. After a Bachelor’s degree from a university of applied sciences, it is also possible to continue studies at higher education institutes abroad in Master’s degree-level programmes. A university of applied sciences also provides opportunities for continuing education in the form of specialisation studies, open studies, online study portal (CampusOnline) and working life-based continuing education.
A student who completes a master’s degree at a university of applied sciences may apply to continue on to postgraduate studies in science or arts at universities (Act 558/2009, Section 37).
The close contacts between experts and students on the degree program with working life, as well as the research, development and innovation (RDI) projects, provide continuous information to support the development and planning of the education process. The experts are actively involved in the domestic and international tourism networks and participate in training programs for operators in the field. The Advisory Committee of the School of Business participates systematically in the development of training from the perspective of the needs of working life.
