LAUREA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES
Täydentävä osaaminen (amk-tutkinto), Laurea Otaniemi, TOG17SY
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. Our mission is to
educate, research, develop and innovate. In our activities we apply the action 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.
Laurea’s strategic research areas are based on strong expertise on which the education offered by Laurea is based.
Strategic research areas are health and societal integrity, comprehensive security and service business. Student
entrepreneurship is supported and entrepreneurship 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.
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.
DEGREE STRUCTURE IN EDUCATION LEADING TO A UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES DEGREE
Scope and Extent of the Degree
The scope of a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Hospitality Management, Beauty Care, and Health
Care (physiotherapist, nurse) is 210 credits, and it takes on average 3.5 years to complete. The scope of a
Bachelor's degree programme in Health Care (public health nurse) is 240 credits, and it takes on average 4 years to
complete.
In line with the international ECTS standard, one credit corresponds with 26.7 hours of work for an average student.
Degree Structure
The degree studies at Laurea consists of core competence and complementary competence modules. The modules
comprise competence areas that are part of the degree. Core competence modules impart competence that is part
of the degree's compulsory requirements. Complementary modules make it possible to deepen or extend your
knowledge.
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.
In practice, credits are attained when the student complete study units that are part of the module or engage in
projects in which the corresponding competence area is develop (see picture 1). Credits can also be gained through
recognition of prior learning or demonstrations.
The modules have been designed so that they can mainly be completed in the course of one or two semesters.
Studies 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 offering.
Picture 1. Structure of the studies.
Core Competence and Complementary Competence Modules
Core competence modules lay the foundation for the competence required for a degree and are compulsory. The
scope of the core competence varies depending on the degree:
• 150 credits for a Bachelor of Business Administration, a Bachelor of Hospitality Management, a Bachelor of
Social Services, a Bachelor of Health Care (physiotherapist) and a Bachelor of Beauty Care degree
• 180 credits for a Bachelor of Health Care degree (nurse)
• 210 credits for a Bachelor of Health Care degree (public health nurse)
The scope of core competence modules is 30 credits. The modules contain the following types of studies: basic
studies, professional studies, practical studies and a Bachelor's thesis.
The remaining part of the degree consists of complementary competence modules. Depending on the degree,
the scope of the complementary competence thus is 30 or 60 credits. The scope of a module is either 15 or 30
credits. The modules can be freely selected. Complementary competence modules support individual study paths
and competence. You can include in your degree complementary competence modules that are compatible with
your professional goals. The compatibility of the elective studies with your degree will be subject to prior agreement
with your teacher tutor.
Complementary modules include the following types of studies: professional studies, practical studies and elective
studies.
Flexible Possibilities for Completing Attainments and Specialising
At Laurea, there are flexible possibilities of building up the competence specified in the modules' learning outcomes.
For example, the student can
• select core competence studies offered on Laurea's different campuses
• select complementary competence modules that support your professional goals in Laurea's various campuses
• select Englishstudies from Laurea's offer of English education, even if you are studying in Finnish education,
• select Finnishstudies from Laurea's offer of Finnish education, even if you are studying in an English education.

The study unit implementation plans specify the objectives, content and implementation form of the studies.
You can deepen or extend your competence by your selections of complementary competence modules,
placements and the theme of your thesis, and by participating in various projects. Career guidance will be provided
to support a student on his or her study path.
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
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. The modules being offered at each campus are listed separately.
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 offering describes what studies the campus 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.
Studies 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/project 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 or projects from 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
• select studies from the common study offering gathered by Laurea, Haaga-Helia UAS and Metropolia UAS
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.
