Implementation of studies
The degree programme is organised on the basis of blended studies involving a great deal of project work, teamwork and independent study. All courses are carried out through blended learning methods, including lectures, online studies and project-based tasks.
On average, there are three days of on-campus studies per month. Most of the studies are completed online individually or in small groups. In this respect, students are supported by online study counseling. The on-campus classes are normally during the weekdays, typically on Thursdays and Fridays and mainly on Kouvola Campus. The studies can be completed approximately within two years.
You can study either on-line or on campus where the premises are especially designed to promote learning, or you may complete your studies in various companies and organizations and benefit from the cooperation between students, teachers and company representatives. The latter way of learning provides you with an insight into the world of work and the possibilities available around you.
