Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

Depending on the implementation, learning takes place in contact lessons, as independent studies, teamwork and/or online-studies. Learning methods include dialogic, experimental and collaborative contact lessons, simulation practices, guest lecturers, cases and the development of strategy models within student’s own organisation. The course includes the assessment of one’s own learning.

The studies and learning assignments seek to mirror everyday business in corporations and other organisations. The learning sessions may include guest lectures, visits and/or real-life cases to be solved. Students apply their learning with their current work environment.

Depending on the implementation, student backgrounds and work environments bring an international perspective to the course. Internationality can also be present through case studies, books, articles and assignments.

Depending on the implementation, pre-assignment is required. See the implementation plan for more information.

If students have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, they can show their competence via a demonstration. The demonstration must be agreed with the course teacher.
