Fundamentals of Business

Example of scheduling the studies of BSc Degree

The BSc studies have been scheduled for three years. During one year student is expected to complete 60 credits (equivalent to 1600 hours of student work) and during one semester the student is expected to complete 30 credits (equivalent to 800 hours of student work). The semester is divided into the two teaching periods and the student should complete during one period 12-18 credits.

During the first year of studies the student will mainly complete the courses of the Fundamentals of Business Knowledge and languages. The language requirements of the BSc degree, 30 credits of languages, can be for example divided for 5 semesters (6 cr language studies per semester) for 2,5 years time.

Most non Finnish speakers will be admitted the exemption from the official language requirements of the BSc degree. Instead they will make the personal language plan where they plan how to study 30 cr languages, for example Finnish and English.

It is also possible to complete the minor studies during the first year of studies provided that the student will not attend to the student exchange program during his/her Bachelor studies.

Here is an example of the study plan with one semester exchange studies abroad (International Study Module). The amount of credits can slightly vary from semester to semester and from year to year depending on the course offerings.
