Further information

Students in Laurea's Security and Risk Management degree program have their own implementations of the study unit and they cannot choose this one. This implementation is open for anyone else.

The course is Bachelor's degree program level. Master's students may also take the course or join to familiarize themselves with the content, but the course cannot be included in a Master's degree.

Laurea degree students, pathway students and cross institutional students enroll to the course through Pakki/Peppi. Enrollments are processed almost daily, allowing you to start the course flexibly when it suits you. You will receive a completion record for the course approximately two weeks after finishing. During holiday periods, enrollments and completion records are processed less frequently.

If the course is not completed by the end date of the implementation, the student can enroll in the next implementation. Incomplete assignments cannot be transferred to the next implementation; all tasks must be redone.
