Implementation of studies

On average, there are three days of on-campus studies per month. Most of the studies are completed online individually or in small groups. In this respect, students are supported by online study counseling. The on-campus classes are normally during the weekdays, typically on Thursdays and Fridays and mainly on Kouvola Campus. The studies can be completed approximately within two years.
All courses, irrespective of their implementation method, use the instruments of e-Campus (e.g. virtual learning environment Learn), which facilitates group work and document sharing.

Network tools, student intranet (Student) and social media channels are used to enhance communication and cooperation.
