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.

(This is used for describing whether this implementation can be completed in different ways.)

Student workload

One credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, which means that the load of three credits is approximately 80 hours.

- Contact lessons and labwork: 40h
- Individual work and excercises: 40h

Content scheduling

Start of the course will consist mostly of lectures and some lab work with lab work and exercise amount increasing toward the end. Lab work will be conducted in learning groups of around 20 to 25 persons.
