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.

In the projects you participate in the development work of domestic or international businesses and communities
and in project work. The language used in the project can be either Finnish or English. Projects can also focus on
developing the student’s own business. 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 competences generated in the projects can partly be included in the learning outcomes of some other
module(s) and thus the credits can be divided between several modules.
