According to the degree regulations (section 18) “students must be present in the first contact session or notify their teacher in charge if they cannot attend. If they fail to notify the teacher of their absence in the first contact session, their enrollment will be rejected. Another student in the queue may be enrolled in the study unit in the place of the absent student.”

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.
