1.3 About This Guide

The Laurea Polytechnic Study Guide / ECTS Information Guide has been edited not only for the use of the students who join the Polytechnic on a Socrates/Erasmus exchange or other exchange programmes but also to serve our non-Finnish speaking degree students. This guide enlists the Laurea Degree Programmes and courses that are provided in the English language plus a few courses in Swedish and German, the courses in Finnish are not included. The guide also contains some information on the educational policies and services of the Polytechnic, for more detailed information please see the Student Guide 2004-2005 or www.laurea.fi. Updated versions of both Guides can be found at www.laurea.fi .

Except for students, it is our hope that the teaching and administrative personnel in our partner universities and other interested institutions will find this document a useful guide into Laurea and its internationally oriented programmes.

The editors will be grateful for comments and suggestions that may help us improve this guide.
