Following subjects are covered:
The studies are optimized for flexible learning and studying, parallel with fulltime employment ashore or at sea. The studies are arranged on-site and online with the lecture materials, as well as the assignments to be completed online, in the system Moodle. We use Microsoft Teams for communication in the group, both students and teachers. For study administrative things the Peppi system is used. It is recommended but not mandatory for you during the studies to attend some sessions in person at campus. It can namely also be good to meet and network with your peers and thesis supervisor. The lectures that take place on campus will be recorded. We meet on average two days a month.
It is mandatory to visit Finland to show the student Admission the original certificates used in the application and to strengthen one’s personal identity. Moving to Finland is not necessary for the studies. Moreover, such a thing would be something between Finnish Immigrations Service (Migri) and the student.
The thesis work is usually realized as a research and development project related to working life.
