Teaching methods

Partly automated implementation:

The study unit is conducted online and does not require attendance on campus. The study unit is completed partly independently following a schedule for returning assingments / by a given deadline. A Canvas learning environment is used to support the implementation. The study unit does not include working in pairs or groups. You will receive individual feedback for assignments from the teacher, and working life or peer feedback may also be utilised.

Employer connections

Working life cooperation takes place in module 2, interview with immediate supervisor

Exam schedules

Based on the degree regulations (2024), the student accepted for the implementation is required to confirm their participation by showing activity at the start of the study in the following way:

In accordance with the degree regulations (2024), those who have been accepted for the study unit must confirm their participation via email within a week of the start of implementation (19.9.2025). If the student does not confirm participation by acting in this way, his registration for the implementation will be rejected and another student can be taken in their place.

Completion alternatives

According to the degree regulations (2024), Students are entitled to apply for recognition of prior learning regardless of where, when and how the competence has been acquired. ... At Laurea, there are two different procedures for the recognition and accreditation of prior learning: a) accreditation of prior learning (competence acquired in higher education studies at another institution) and b) demonstration of competence (competence acquired in other ways). The recognition and accreditation of prior learning is initiated by the student themselves. The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence. The student is entitled to guidance for the recognition and accreditation of their competence. Further information in the student intranet.

You may also assess work-based learning as a way to acquire the competence needed. Read more in the student intranet.

Student workload

Workload of the study is measured in a way that to acquire the goal competence of the study, one credit corresponds to an average of 26.7 hours of work done by the student. The actual time needed varies e.g. according to prior competence.

Content scheduling

The course consists of three modules:
1. self-management
2. supervisor work and well-being at work
3. labor legislation.

You can complete the module assignments independently and on your own schedule.
