Competence objectives

The objectives for skill levels in a Master’s Degree are based on the legislation concerning universities of applied sciences and the European Qualification Framework (EQF). The level corresponding to a Master’s Degree is level 7.

Pedagogic approaches

The studies are interlocked with the student’s tasks at work, and the development of the employer organization or the student’s own project is especially enabled through study tasks and the development project conducted as a thesis.

Assessment

The assessment criteria for each course are described in its implementation plan. Performance requirements vary depending on the objectives, content and method of implementation.

The courses and the thesis are assessed on a scale from 0 to 5. Assessment focuses on competence and its development. The course assessment methods vary according to the objectives of the study module. Assessment may focus on the outcome (for instance, a report or a seminar presentation), on the process (the student’s own activity and actions during the course) or on both. Students receive regular feedback on their performance from their teachers. Peer- and self-assessment as well as commissioner feedback on performance are also utilized. The degree assessment framework is used as the basis for the assessment.
