INTRODUCTION TO LAUREA
Laurea's Mission
The strategic intent of Laurea University of Applied Sciences is to be ”an international developer of well-being and
competitiveness of the Helsinki Metropolitan area in 2020.
Laurea is a student-centred, international, inspiring and innovative university of applied sciences whose mission is to
conduct education, research, development and innovation activities in international value networks following the
operating model of Learning by Developing (LbD).
The students will encounter authentic workplace actors and their competence will be challenged during their studies.
A student graduating from Laurea will be able to act in new situations, anticipate future trends, develop new
operating models and examine the world with open eyes. Laurea's mission is to be an internationally networked
university of applied sciences with an operating method that creates links between learning and the working life.
This way, new competence will be produced and service innovations generated.
Competence Development
At Laurea our focus is on the student, emphasising the student's freedom and responsibility. The students are
offered an opportunity to develop their competence as required by their professional goals. Freedom means that the
learning outcomes may be achieved through different modes of studying. Responsibility means an active approach
to studying, responsibility for your own choices and a constructive and motivated attitude towards doing things
together. Laurea's staff is responsible for supporting and guiding the student's professional growth.
Internationality at Laurea means numerous opportunities for being active in various multicultural settings, developing
your language skills, going on student exchanges and taking part in international research and development (R&D)
projects.
Focus areas refer to areas of strong expertise on which the education offered by Laurea and Laurea's R&D activities
are based. Laurea's focus areas are service business, expertise in nursing and coping at home as well as security,
safety and social responsibility. Student entrepreneurship is a cross-cutting focus area, which is visible in Laurea's
activities not only as an entrepreneurial attitude and cooperation with companies but also as concrete new
businesses that the students may set up even before completing their studies.
Laurea produces experts for the future who can develop their own work, are professionally committed and have
capabilities for serving in expert tasks in their own fields.
The education aims for an extensive and strong professional competence. Workplace driven projects also develop
management competence, communication skills, creativity and ethical competence. The graduates will have
capabilities for following and promoting the development of their professional fields and for continuous improvement
of their personal professional competence. The education imparts the students adequate communication and
linguistic skills for tasks in their fields as well as for international activities and cooperation.

network and study for a Bachelor's degree in Health Care (physiotherapist, nurse, public health nurse), Social
Services, or Business Administration. The purpose of this network is to support the development of your
competence and to generate new services, products and business. You may also launch your own business as part
of your studies.
On the Porvoo campus, students of nursing take part in authentic workplace projects. You will build up strong basic
capabilities in wellbeing entrepreneurship and work together with companies of this field during your studies. You
will be offered opportunities for virtual study in the form of inspiring, up-to-date and versatile online implementations.
The aim of the Tikkurila campus is to promote future welfare. Its goal is to develop services in a participatory
process with customers and to boost welfare. In Tikkurila, you can study for a Bachelor's degree in Health Care
(nurse, public health nurse), Social Services (social welfare sector or correctional services), Business Administration
or Beauty Care. As a student you will have opportunities for building up your competence in various development
projects and learning environments together with working life specialists.
LEARNING BY DEVELOPING (LbD)
Laurea's inspiring and innovative learning environments are based on the model of Learning by Developing. The
idea of Learning by Developing is built around authentic encounters with the working life. The ensuing cooperation is
based on trust and creativity.
The students learn to identify targets for workplace and competence development, to create new solutions, products
and operating models and to develop their own action in observance of changing workplace requirements. The
typical characteristics of LbD include authenticity, partnership, experiential nature, creativity and a research-oriented
approach.
Learning by Developing combines learning that produces competence with creativity through various research and
development projects. Learning builds on new opportunities that open up as the project progresses. The required
competence is accumulated through practical activities in various workshops and labs.

ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING AND COMPETENCE
In the curriculum, the learning outcomes are described as the learner's actions, so that the development of
competence can be assessed with reference to the set goals. Competence is identified as knowledge, skills and
values related competence as well as experiential competence that includes the competence of an individual and a
community. The competence descriptions in the curriculum draw on Bloom's taxonomy, where the development of
competence is described at six different levels: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and
evaluation/creativity.
Following Laurea's LbD model, it is expected that the learner's competence will develop from the level of application
to the level of creativity in the course of the education. Laurea's description of shared general criteria for workplace
competence is based on the National Quality Framework. General workplace competence develops as the students
complete modules and study units and participate in projects.

The assessments draw on the students' self and peer assessments and the assessments of employer
representatives. The students can also avail themselves of recognition of prior learning (RPL). Assessment helps
the students to monitor the development of their competence and the achievement of their personal goals in relation
to the competence requirements set for the degree.
INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY OF THE DEGREE
Competence is at the centre of all activities at Laurea, and we recognize competence in a comprehensive sense.
General working life capabilities specified at the national level and defined in greater detail at Laurea have been
taken into account in the degree contents.
The level of the degree corresponds with level 6 of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and level 6 of the
European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
In the curriculum, the learning outcomes of a study unit are described for level 3, good skills, on the assessment
scale (1-5).
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
The curriculum is developed by using evaluation, monitoring and feedback data. Changes may occur in the study
units and implementation modes of the modules. The offering of the complementary modules is constantly under
development to match the requirements of the working life and thus the offering may change during the studies.
Operating environment
Hyvinkään Laureassa oppimisen lähtökohtana on osallistuminen työelämän autenttisiin kehittämishankkeisiin.
Oppiminen pohjautuu opettajien, opiskelijoiden ja työelämäosaajien kumppanuuteen. Kehittämishankkeet
työpajoineen mahdollistavat yksilöllistä ja yhteisöllistä oppimista, uuden osaamistiedon rakentumista sekä uusia
innovaatioita tuotteina, toimintamalleina ja toimintakulttuurina. Opiskelijat oppivat tutkimus- ja kehittämistoiminnan ja
projektityön menetelmiä sekä toimintatapoja kehittämishankkeissa koko koulutuksen ajan. Ohjauksella ja
itsearvioinnilla tuetaan alan vaatimaa persoonallista, eettistä ja ammatillista kasvua.
Kansainvälinen toiminta on tärkeä osa hoitotyön koulutusohjelmaa. Hyvinkään Laurea tarjoaa opiskelijoille
pakollisten kieliopintojen lisäksi vieraskielisiä ammattiopintoja ja vapaasti valittavia kielten opintojaksoja,
mahdollisuuden kansainväliseen opiskelijavaihtoon tai - työharjoitteluun sekä tukee kotikansainvälistymistä monin
eri tavoin.
Hoitotyön koulutusohjelmassa on panostettu hoitotyön toimintojen harjoittelutiloihin ja -välineisiin. Hoitotyön
simulaatio-oppimisympäristö ”Medical and Care Simulation Center” on kuin oikea sairaala: siihen kuuluu poliklinikka,
shokkihuone, tehohoitotila sekä vuodeosasto. Simulaatiot tapahtuvat potilassimulaattorien avulla.
Potilassimulaattoreiden avulla harjoitellaan hoidon kriittisiä vaiheita potilaan tulosta ambulanssilla sairaalaan aina
kotiutukseen saakka. Potilassimulaattorit sisältävät todenmukaiset peruselintoiminnot, jotka reagoivat erilaisiin
hoitotoimenpiteisiin. Niiden avulla voidaan harjoitella mm. sydäninfarktin, intoksikaation, astman sekä vammojen
hoitoa. Jälkipuintia varten on oma debriefing-tila, jossa voidaan analysoida tapahtumien kulkua nauhoitteiden avulla.
Debriefing-tilassa osa opiskelijoista voi seurata simulaatiota videon välityksellä. Hoidollisten taitojen lisäksi voidaan
tilassa harjoitella vuorovaikutustaitoja, johtamista ja tiimityöskentelyä sekä päätöksentekoa.

Sairaanhoitajan asiantuntijuus ja osaamisalueet ovat kuvattu Opetusministeriön julkaisun Ammattikorkea-koulusta
terveydenhuoltoon - koulutuksesta valmistuvien ammatillinen osaaminen, keskeiset opinnot ja
vähimmäisopintopisteet, työryhmämuistioita ja selvityksiä 2006:24 mukaisesti.
Sairaanhoitaja on hoitotyön asiantuntija, jonka tehtävä yhteiskunnassa on potilaiden hoitaminen. Työssään
sairaanhoitaja tukee yksilöitä, perheitä ja yhteisöjä määrittämään, saavuttamaan ja ylläpitämään terveyttä
muuttuvissa olosuhteissa ja eri toimintaympäristöissä kuten perusterveydenhuollossa, erikoissairaanhoidossa,
sosiaalihuollossa sekä yksityisen ja kolmannen sektorin alueilla. Hän toteuttaa ja kehittää hoitotyötä, joka on
samanaikaisesti terveyttä edistävää ja ylläpitävää, sairauksia ehkäisevää ja parantavaa sekä kuntouttavaa.
Sairaanhoitaja tukee eri elämänvaiheissa olevien ihmisten ja yhteisöjen voimavaroja. Hän auttaa ihmistä
kohtaamaan sairastumisen, vammautumisen ja kuoleman. Sairaanhoitaja tuo hoitotyön asiantuntemuksen
yhteiskunnalliseen päätöksentekoon. Sairaanhoitaja toimii itsenäisesti hoitotyön asiantuntijana hoitaessaan potilaita
ja toteuttaessaan potilaan kokonaishoidossa lääkärin ohjeiden mukaista lääketieteellistä hoitoa.
Sairaanhoitaja tuo asiantuntemuksensa moniammatilliseen yhteistyöhön, mikä edellyttää vastuunottoa ja selkeää
näkemystä omasta vastuualueesta sekä toisten asiantuntemuksen tuntemista ja kunnioittamista. Sairaanhoitajan
toimintaa ohjaavat hoitotyön arvot, eettiset periaatteet, säädökset ja ohjeet. Hänen ammatillisen toimintansa
lähtökohtana ovat kulloinkin voimassa oleva lainsäädäntö ja Suomen terveyspoliittiset linjaukset.
Sairaanhoitaja käyttää näyttöön perustuvassa hoitotyössä hyväksi ammatillista asiantuntemustaan, potilaan
tarpeisiin ja kokemuksiin perustuvaa tietoa sekä hoitosuosituksia ja tutkimustietoa. Sairaanhoitajan työ perustuu
hoitotieteeseen. Hoitotyön ammatillisessa päätöksenteossa käytetään monitieteistä tietoperustaa. Hoitotyön
osaaminen edellyttää sairaanhoitajalta ajantasaista hoitotieteen, lääketieteen ja farmakologian sekä yhteiskunta- ja
käyttäytymistieteiden tuottamaan tutkimustietoon perustuvaa teoreettista osaamista. Sairaanhoitajan ammatissa
toimiminen edellyttää vahvaa eettistä ja ammatillista päätöksentekotaitoa. Sairaanhoitaja osaa hankkia ja arvioida
kriittisesti tietoa ja käyttää sitä toimintansa perusteena sekä työyhteisönsä kehittämisessä ja arvioinnissa.

Competences
Professional Growth and Annual Themes
Opintojen alkuvaiheessa opiskelija omaksuu erilaisia välineellisiä tietoja ja taitoja, joita tarvitaan sekä oppimisessa
että työelämässä. Tutkivaan oppimiseen liittyvien menetelmällisten taitojen lisäksi opiskelija saavuttaa valmiuden
projektimaiseen työskentelytapaan sekä monipuoliset viestintätaidot. Samaan aikaan opiskelija perehtyy
terveysalaan toimintaympäristönä. Ammatillistiedolliset ja -taidolliset haasteet keskittyvät opintojen alkuvaiheessa
hoitotyön ja terveydenhoitotyön perusteisiin. Kaikille pakollisten yhteisten opintojen edetessä toisena
opiskeluvuotena ammatillistiedollinen ja ammatillistaidollinen osaaminen painottuu sisätauti-kirurgiseen hoitotyöhön,
perhe-, mielenterveys- kriisi- ja päihdehoitotyöhön sekä hoitotyöhön vastaanotoilla ja kodeissa.
Opintojen loppuvaiheessa opiskelija suuntaa osaamistaan valitsemissaan vaihtoehtoisissa syventävissä opinnoissa.
Opiskelijaa rohkaistaan uuden innovatiivisen ja ennakoivan ymmärryksen, tiedon ja työskentelyteorioiden
kehittämiseen. Opinnäytetyö palvelee tätä samaa tavoitetta, minkä lisäksi se antaa opiskelijalle mahdollisuuden
edelleen syventää omaa yksilöllistä opintopolkuaan. Sairaanhoitaja (AMK) ja terveydenhoitaja (AMK) ymmärtävät
jatkuvan uudistumisen mahdollisuudet ja näkevät hoitotyön ja terveydenhoitotyön opinnot osana elinikäisen
oppimisen prosessia. Ammatillisen kasvun tukeminen perustuu holistiseen ihmiskäsitykseen, monialaisiin
oppimisympäristöihin sekä autenttisissa työelämän hankkeissa tapahtuvaan tutkivaan oppimiseen (LbD).
• Ensimmäisen opiskeluvuoden vuositeema on käynnistää opiskelijan ammatillinen kasvu monialaiseksi alansa
osaajaksi ja kumppaniksi paikallisissa verkostoissa.

Quality assurance process
Quality assurance takes place according to plan, in line with Laurea's Quality Control System. The results provided
by the student feedback system at the beginning, mid-stage and graduation stage of the studies are processed
together by staff and students. On the basis of feedback, development areas are chosen and measures are
scheduled and delegated. The measures are recorded in a maintenance log and their fulfilment is regularly
monitored.
Evaluation of the curriculum and the instruction takes place on the basis of feedback on individual study units. The
feedback is processed together by staff and students. Development areas are recorded as a basis for
implementation planning and curriculum work. Items are also recorded on staff self-evaluation forms and in a
maintenance log. The curriculum and its implementation are regularly evaluated by multidisciplinary teams involving
workplace partners, and in LbD and R&D&I evaluations directed at staff.
Quantitative evaluations are carried out annually in conjunction with gathering of statistics for the AMKOTA
database, focusing on degree completion times, LbD credits, credits from R&D&I and the number of workplace-
oriented development theses. Qualitative monitoring also takes place each semester, when the credit performance
of students is followed up on.
