LAUREA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES
Complementary competence (bachelor's studies), Laurea Leppävaara, CCA15SY
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
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

The study unit implementation plans specify the objectives, content and implementation form of the studies.
The development of a student's individual competence is also supported by campus modules, the contents of which
emphasise the special competence areas of the campuses. In addition, 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.

Study units are graded on a scale of 0 to 5, as follows:
5 (Excellent),
4 (Good),
3 (Good),
2 (Satisfactory),
1 (Satisfactory) and
0 (Fail).
Some study units or parts can also be graded simply as Pass/Fail (H/0).
The students will be informed of the criteria for assessing competence at the beginning of each study unit/project. In
the planning of the assessment, shared assessment criteria applicable to initial stage and graduation stage students
are utilised, with shared descriptions for levels 1, 3 and 5.

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.
