Completion alternatives

Degree students and path students of Laurea:

Recognition of prior studies:
If you have completed comparable studies earlier in another higher education institution, be in touch with your head of student affairs.

Demonstration of competence:
All students are entitled to demonstrate their competence. The recognition and accreditation of prior competence is initiated by the students themselves. The assessment is carried out according to the same assessment criteria and, as a rule, same grading scale as that adopted for the corresponding study unit or module. The student is entitled to apply for accreditation of prior competence regardless of where, how, and when the competence has been acquired. The student may also seek accreditation of competence to be acquired on the job as part of their degree (work-based learning).

The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence and for providing sufficient information. Recognition and accreditation of prior competence is done before the beginning of the study unit. Student fills in the competence analysis and enroll to the demonstration according to the instructions and schedules given in Canvas.

If your competence is partly in line with the study unit's learning outcomes, discuss the matter directly with the teacher in charge of the study unit. Contact the teacher well before the beginning of the study unit. The teacher in charge of the study unit will assess your competence and guide you further on the matter.
