Contact teaching days in autumn 2021

The contact or online teaching days mainly take place at 8.30-15.45.

In autumn 2021, the contact and online teaching days of your degree programme are:

24-25 August 2021 (TAMK) 21-22 September 2021 (TAMK) 25-26 October 2021 (TAMK) 16-18 November 2021 (online) 13-14 December 2021 (online)   (Changes are possible)

 In addition to these days, you have to choose 15 credits of optional advanced studies and 15 credits of free-choice studies. These studies increase the number of contact teaching days.

Please note that master’s degree studies equal full-time studies even if the number of contact teaching days is low. In addition to the contact teaching days, the studies include plenty of independent study and teamwork. Studying alongside work is demanding.

 

Daily access to a computer

The studies include plenty of independent search for information and assignments and thus you need to have access to a personal computer. Please take the laptop with you on the first day.
