COMPLEMENTARY COMPETENCE IN BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMMES

Elective studies compiled into modules

Elective studies are a part of completing a university of applied sciences degree. Complementary modules make it
possible to deepen or extend your knowledge.
From autumn 2014, elective studies will be offered in modules. The modules being offered at Laurea are all listed
and described in each campus’s own complementary competence curricula.
The modules comprise competence areas. A module typically includes at least two study units, but alternatively
competence can also be developed in projects. Credits can also be gained through recognition of prior learning or
demonstrations.
Complementary competence modules are also well-suited for further education for those students, who have
completed a degree. Graduates can enrol in them as students of the Open University of Applied Sciences.

Modules further competency in a subject area

The scope of a module is 15 - 30 credits. Complementary competence modules support individual study paths and
competence. Complementary competence modules that are compatible with the student’s professional goals can
include in his/her degree. The compatibility of the elective studies with the degree will be subject to prior agreement
with the teacher tutor.
Learning is made relevant to workplace development and the student's personal goals. The learning outcomes
specified for the modules build on future workplace needs and Laurea's focus areas.

Completion of studies

Campus-specific curricula describe what studies a unit has planned to offer over the course of a degree programme.
Not all courses are held every year, rather a new list of available courses is planned and published each academic
year according to demand.

The competences described in the module can be developed either by participating in study units or working in
projects. Please note that in some education forms projects are the primary way of gathering credits.The study unit
implementation plans specify the objectives, content and implementation form of the studies. The topic of the project
and the competences developed by participating in it will be clarified when the project is added to the study offer.
The scope of the project will be agreed on in each case.

The modules have been designed so that they can mainly be completed in the course of one or two semesters.
Study units can be implemented either in Finnish or in English. The language of the implementation is decided for
each semester and is visible in the study unit offer.

In order for a student to further their competency, we recommend that the student selects entire modules, but it is
also possible for a student to select individual study units (courses) from within modules.

Flexible Possibilities for Completing Attainments and Specialising

Any studies in an institution of higher education can be counted as advanced competency. In addition to
complementary competence studies presented in the curriculum the student can for example
•   select complementary competence studies offered on Laurea's different campuses
•   select a core competence module in another degree programme as their advance competency
•   include in the degree studies selected from the offer of the FUAS Federation, or HAMK University of Applied
    Sciences and Lahti university of Applied Sciences

Curriculum Development

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. Up to date plans on the available advanced
competency modules will be published each academic year.
