Pedagogic approaches and sustainable development

Course will apply TurkuUAS innovation pedagogy methods. Theoretical studies are connected to to practical work such as hands-on sessions, group assignments & field visits for case examples. Learned theoretical knowledge will be applied to practical work helping to achieve deeper learning through real life research, development and innovation examples. Students will have active role and they will have the responsibility for own learning activities and time planning.

Student workload

Learning will include diverse range of independent and group assignments.
1 student credit equals approximately 27 hours of work.
