Basic Information on Studies Studying at a Finnish university might be very different from studying elsewhere. It is typical for university students in Finland to be responsible for their own study plan and follow-up on their own learning and progress. Here is some basic information on the system of study at the University of Lapland that you may find useful in order to help you get started.

Academic Year 2015–2016 An academic year at the University of Lapland consists of two semesters which are divided into five teaching periods; two study periods in the autumn, two study periods in the spring, and one period for various summer school programmes or examination. For the academic year 2015–2016, the calendar will be the following: Teaching Periods Period 1 Period 2 Christmas Break Period 3 Spring Break Period 4 Period 5

Right to Study in International Programmes Students of University of Lapland By principle rule, the right to study in all international programmes is given automatically to all degree and visiting students of the University of Lapland. More information on programmes and courses is available at www.ulapland.fi/studies Studying at Other Finnish Universities The national “JOO – agreement” (Flexible Right to Study agreement) was introduced in August 2004. On the basis of this agreement, a student studying for a degree in one Finnish university (henceforth the home university) can apply to pursue studies at another Finnish university (henceforth the host university) provided that similar studies cannot be studied at the home university. These studies can be included in the student’s degree, if the home university has a valid JOO-agreement with the host university. University of Lapland has a JOO –agreement with University of Oulu. This means that you can only apply to take studies from the University of Oulu under the JOO – agreement. See what University of Oulu has to offer: www.oulu.fi/education Students must complete a form in order to be officially accepted and receive a registration number at the host university. The University of Lapland has an agreement with the University of Oulu to not charge each other’s students for JOO-studies. Open University Students International programmes are open also for Open University students. Courses are the same as for degree students; there are no separate evening or weekend courses. Students are required to apply as so-called PIA (PIA= studies integrated to basic education in the faculties) for the studies through the Open University of Lapland. The right to PIA studies can be awarded for individual study blocks (basic, subject and in some case advanced studies) or courses, but not for degrees. Good knowledge of English is required. Please note that the Open University charges a study fee and PIA students are not entitled to financial aid or other social benefits for studies. More information on the Open University of Lapland is available on the internet: www.ulapland.fi/avoin

Registering for Courses on WebOodi Students are required to register in advance for all courses and exams (with a few exceptions) using the WebOodi System. It is the responsibility of the student to always check beforehand if registration is required and when it is required. Through WebOodi you can also make a personal study plan or give feedback on courses.

8 Through WebOodi, students can check their personal data and credits, change their contact information and the conditions on which the data can be released for other purposes. Students can browse study guide information, and receive an “unofficial” transcript of studies. It is highly recommended that students enter their e-mail address in WebOodi System. You can find more detailed introduction and downloadable user’s instructions from the following web-page: weboodi.ulapland.fi/lay/ Please note that, in general, students are accepted to a course in the order of registration. However, in case there are more students applying than can be accepted, students who have been accepted through a separate application procedure (e.g. Arctic Studies Program ASP) will be given priority when course students are selected.

Information on Programmes Additional information about each international programme is available from various sources, with the most helpful and accurate source being the official website of the University or the Programme Coordinator concerned of each programme (this catalogue provides the necessary web-links and contact details). Nevertheless, the International Studies Coordinator’s office offers study counselling when necessary. Information on programmes is also available at www.ulapland.fi/studies. Students are highly recommended to join the International e-mail list (and check the inbox daily), where for example changes of schedules, visiting lectures, special events, and information on new courses is mailed through that e-list. Please note that changes in programmes or schedules are possible. Always check the latest information from WebOodi before a course starts.

System of Study The system of study in Finnish universities is rather different from universities in other countries. Students may find, for example, certain terminologies to mean different things in Finland. Below you can find some basic information about the system of study in the University of Lapland. University Degrees Finnish Universities offer four different degrees: a Bachelor’s degree, a Master’s degree, a Licentiate’s degree and a Doctoral degree. A bachelor’s degree of 180 ECTS credits consists of studies in both major and minor subjects (without advanced level studies), methodology studies and language studies. A master’s degree of 120 ECTS credits includes studies in major and minor subjects, with the master’s thesis being a central component of the degree. Master’s studies can also include methodology and language studies. Research and preparation of a substantial thesis are essential parts of the studies for both licentiate and doctoral degrees.

A bachelor’s degree requires about three years of study, and subsequently, a master’s degree would require at least two additional years of full-time study. Following the completion of a master’s degree, a licentiate degree can generally be completed in two years and a doctor’s degree in four years. Courses and Study Modules The basic unit of a study programme is a Course, with a typical course consisting of lectures and an assignment (an assignment can be either a written exam or a written assignment). Details of a course can be found in the course description, which for example, provides the following information: ASPB1102 Arctic Ecosystem and Adaptation of Species to Arctic Environments (2 ECTS) Aim:

After completion of the course the student is able to: a) identify the main features and functions of circumpolar tundra, boreal forest and marine ecosystems; recognize interactions and relationships between the Arctic ecosystems and other parts of the globe; and examine evolution and adaptation mechanisms of plants and animals into Arctic environment. Contents: The course gives basic knowledge on the Arctic and boreal ecosystems and the adaptation of species, including: 1) The evolution and distribution of tundra and boreal forest ecosystems, emphasizing vegetation, plant-animal interactions and natural and anthropogenic disturbance patterns and processes; 2) Processes and global interactions affecting to marine productivity and biodiversity, interactions between marine and terrestrial ecosystems and threats to Arctic marine life; 3) Morphological, physiological and behavioural adaptations of plants and/or animals to the northern environment with basic information on evolution, natural selection and challenges of climate change. Prerequisite: Course ASPB1101 Introduction to the Arctic (5 ECTS cr.) has to be passed before attending this course. Methods: 1) Lectures (30 h) Requirements: 1) Active participation in lectures, 2) successful completion of a written essay or exam. Literature: Supplementary literature will be announced at the beginning of the lectures. Evaluation: Grades 1 – 5 /fail Timing: Autumn / 1st period Principal tutor: Senior scientist, PhD Osmo Rätti, Arctic Centre Lecturers: Professor Bruce Forbes; Senior scientist, PhD Osmo Rätti; Senior Scientists Päivi Soppela; Minna Turunen and Anna-Liisa Ylisirniö, Arctic Centre Language of instruction: English Compulsory: A compulsory course for ASP students, facultative for other students

At the University of Lapland, credits are used to define the extent of a given course (referred to as ECTS credits). Lectures, exercises, seminars and other forms of instruction as well as independent research, are all taken into consideration when the number of credits for each course is being calculated. Please note that a credit does not refer to the duration of a course, but to the estimated amount of work required, that is, one credit refers to approximately 26 – 27 hours of work by the student. For each ECTS credit, there is usually 8 – 10 hours of lecturing. Lectures are usually held within the time period of one week or two weeks. A Study Module consists of two or more courses that share a common theme. In the following example, the studies can be completed by either taking individual courses or taking part in the whole 25-ECTS credit programme. To complete the module, 25 ECTS cr. are required. It is important to note that students cannot register directly for a study module, instead students

10 register themselves for each individual course. Upon completion of a study module, the module can be included in one study transcript. Programmes There are three levels of studies: basic studies, subject studies, and advanced studies, and two kinds of programmes: major and minor. In major programmes, students are required to complete basic and subject level courses in the Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree studies and advanced courses in the Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree studies. In minor programmes only basic level studies are required; in long minor programmes, both basic and subject level work must be completed.

Teaching Methods Different kinds of teaching methods are used in courses. Some of them are traditional but some of them may be new. Lecturing is the most commonly used teaching method (one lecture is approx. 45 minutes). However, lectures do not always cover the entire content of the course and students are required to complete either a written exam or essay in order to complete the course. A course with a seminar consists of lectures in the beginning of the course and seminar meetings in which students present their seminar paper. A workshop is basically the same as a seminar but done as group work. Exercises are usually practical assignments that are widely used in teacher training, for example. Excursions (or field work) are courses where students follow a planned programme and attend lectures. Usually excursions also include additional assignments. The teaching method of a course can also be a combination of several methods, but it/they are always mentioned in the course description. Written Exams Please note that there is no specific exam period at the end of a semester; as exams are held throughout the academic year. Depending on the extent of the course, students are given 2-4 hours to answer questions. Students are not allowed to bring any books or other material to the examination room unless there is an agreement with the examiner. Dictionaries are not allowed in exams unless specifically noted. Questions are usually essay type questions, but short answer-questions and multiple-choice-questions can also be used. Sometimes written exams can be held as take-home exams. There are two types of written exams: course exams and general exams.

Course Exam

Course exams are held after the completion of a course. The lecturer will inform the students of the date, time and place of the exam. There are at least two possible dates, so that one can try again if one fails the first exam. The first is usually held within two weeks after the lectures end and the second within a month. Advance registration is usually not required for course exams.

General Exam

General exams for each faculty are held once a month. On these days, a student can take an exam based on individual study of a set of books or other material specific to a particular course of study. Please note that when registering student must select the books he/she is planning to study according to the list provided in the course catalogue/WebOodi. In general, students need to cover all the selected books at once. The registration deadline is 10 days before the exam date and registration must be done through WebOodi.

Written Assignments A variety of written assignments are used in Finnish universities. The following instructions will give a basic introduction to written assignments given in international programmes. Written assignments can be returned to a course tutor either in paper format or as an e-mail according to the agreement between the tutor and students. Students must always have the original text until the evaluation of the course has been completed. For those requiring assistance, the University of Lapland publishes a handbook entitled ‘General Guidelines for Academic Writing’, which is available online from the International Programmes and Courses web-page or in printed format from the International Office. There are basically three different types of written assignments: essays, lecture journals and learning journals. Please note that requirements for assignments may vary from faculty to faculty.

Essay

An essay is not just a summary of a course or a book. It should answer the questions set by the student or argue for a statement or a viewpoint that he/she has posed. For doing this, a student should use the knowledge gained from the course, lectures or some other materials agreed upon beforehand with the teacher responsible for the course. The problem presentation or originality of the statement, the ways of arguing for the statement or answers to the posed questions, credibility and other factors that show independent insight and originality are the things that count the most in evaluation of an essay.

Lecture Journal

A lecture journal should bring out the essential contents of the lectures together with students own comments. Additional questions and wellfounded contemplations should be included in it. In other words, a lecture journal should always be more than just a copy of lecture notes in a narrative form. Lectures should be commented and evaluated critically. Additional literature, articles and other materials can also be used to help to comment the lectures.

Learning Journal

A learning journal is a process where the student writes down the whole learning process during a course. A journal should include the content of the course and student’s own comments – like in lecture journal. However, students should also analyse the learning process: what were the expectations, what was learned, what was difficult, what are the issues that needed to be studied, for example.

12 General Guidelines for Academic Writing This handbook contains additional information on requirements for academic writing at the University of Lapland. Get your free printed copy from the International Studies Coordinator’s office.

Credits At the University of Lapland, credits are used to define the extent of a given course. Lectures, exercises, seminars and other forms of instruction (e.g. the writing of essays; lecture journals; preparation for examinations, etc.), as well as independent research, are all taken into consideration when the number of credits for each course is being calculated. Please note that a credit does not refer to the duration of a course, but to the estimated amount of work required. One credit refers to approximately 26 – 27 hours of work by the student. The amount of contact teaching may vary from course to course, but is usually from 8 to 10 hours per credit. Within the academic calendar some courses may be completed in less than one period (with credits awarded in due time), while other courses may extend over several study periods with credits being awarded at the end of the semester or the academic year. In accordance with the establishment of the European Higher Education Area, the University of Lapland has fully adopted the ECTS credit system. Thus, the term “credit” is hereafter abbreviated as “cr.” and referred to as “ECTS cr.” Grade Results and their Improvement Results from written exams, essays or other requirements must be released within four weeks from the exam date or deadline for written assignments. If this is not possible, a new date must be informed by the course tutor before the original deadline. Should a student be unhappy with the result, she / he can try to improve on their grade once, in which case the best grade will be the final grade. If dissatisfied with the final ‘course’ result, students have the right to make an official appeal on a grade within 14 days (from receiving the grade) by requesting re-evaluation. More information on this is available from the International Studies Coordinator. Grading System Finnish universities use numeric grading scales. At the University of Lapland, the scale used is from 5 (excellent) to 1 (sufficient). Please note that some courses are evaluated only on a Pass/Fail basis without any further grading. In this case the mark ‘pass’ appears on the transcript. Every passed course and examination taken is recorded on the student’s personal transcript. Failed courses do not appear on the transcript of records. Below is a comparisons table with other common grading scales.

Pass/Fail grades are given if: no number grade is given, no assessed assignments or exam is included in the course. (* descriptive, not official equivalents) Student Number and Transcript of Records At the start of their studies, each student is given a personal student number. Students are to use this number when, for example, registering for exams and on the exam answer forms. A transcript of records is an official document on which a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies are recorded. In the transcript a student will find all the credits and grades of completed courses. Students must regularly check their transcript of records from WebOodi and inform the teacher in question of any mistakes or missing grades.

Courses for Exchange Students International courses taught in English are an important dimension of the education provided by the University of Lapland. Courses are taught in all of our faculties.

Language Centre The Language Centre is in charge of teaching languages and communication skills, thus playing a major role in studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; internationalization process. The Language Centre plans and implements teaching of languages, cultures, and communication skills in accordance with curricula and the decrees on the degree system and in accordance with the needs of various fields. It also provides minor subject courses and elective courses starting from the elementary level. The courses on Finnish as a Foreign Language, Finnish culture, and working life culture help international students to navigate their temporary home environment and to integrate into Finnish society, should they wish to do so. The Language Centre is also home to internal translation and proofreading services, and it is actively involved in various co-operation networks and projects focusing on languages and communication. Please note that changes in programmes or schedules are possible. Before your course starts, check the latest information in WebOodi or visit the Language Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site at www.ulapland.fi/InEnglish/Units/Language-Centre/Studies/Intercultural-CommunicationProgramme-(ICP) www.ulapland.fi/InEnglish/Units/Language-Centre/Studies/Language-and-Culture-Coursesin-English-2015-2016 Language and Culture Courses in English Basic and other language and culture courses (CEFR A1-B2) Chinese Finnish for Foreigners French German Italian Japanese Russian Spanish Minors: Language use and culture (25 ECTS) (CEFR B2-C1) English Finnish for Foreigners German English writing courses for foreigners (CEFR B2)

A basic course 1, e.g. XITA0001 Italian 1, starts from the very basics, so no previous studies on the language are required. Those who have already studied a language are placed on course levels that match their skills. All types of language skills are practiced on the basic courses. The main focus, however, is on phonetics and basic grammar as well as on oral skills and listening comprehension. The aim of the studies is to raise the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; active and passive language skills to an adequate level so that they can take part in mandatory and optional courses and make use of their language skills e.g. in student exchange programs.

Intercultural Communication Program ICP (25 ECTS) Organized by the Language Centre Program Aim In a globalizing world, communication between people of different cultural background is more and more common. Unfortunately, such intercultural communication is hardly ever without problems. Misunderstandings, misinterpretations, prejudice and conflict occur frequently. The purpose of the Intercultural Communication Program (ICP) is to create an understanding of cultural differences: why do they exist, how they can be classified and understood, how do they affect communication, and how can we deal with them successfully? Next to courses in different aspects of intercultural communication, courses widening or deepening participantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knowledge of cultural variety may be included. Such courses are divided into actual courses in current culture, and in courses of any subject with an international, cross-cultural or intercultural focus. The ICP is suitable for Finnish and exchange students alike. Participants do not have to complete the entire program, but are free to choose individual courses according to their own interests. However, participation in the introductory course is highly recommended to anyone interested in the subject of intercultural communication. Program Structure The ICP consists of four modules: 1. Intercultural Communication: Theories and their Application, 13-25 ECTS 2. Intercultural Communication: Case Studies, 0-8 ECTS 3. Culture Studies, 0-6 ECTS 4. International Studies, 0-6 ECTS Modules 1, 2, 3 and 4 serve as headlines, under which a variety of courses may be included in the ICP (see details below). Module 1 covers theories and their application in intercultural communication. Module 2 covers case studies in intercultural communication. Module 3 covers courses in current culture. Module 4 covers courses in other fields of study (other subjects) which can be argued to enhance understanding of cultural variety throughout the world. Examples include courses in International Relations, International Politics, International Media Education, and etc. Program Language All courses on intercultural communication are taught in English. However, some of the culture courses organized by the Language Center may require language skills in other languages. The ICP courses are not recommended for first year students. Please note that the complete ICP (25 ECTS) will take at least one academic year to complete. Please register for the courses through WebOodi.

Gender Studies Organized by Faculty of Education. Programme Overview Gender Studies courses in English are especially designed for international students at the University of Lapland. Gender Studies examine cultural and social issues from the gender perspective, also taking into account other differences between people. The origins of the discipline can be traced back to the feminist movement and women’s rights. Today, the research focuses widely on the meanings of gender and sexuality in education, society and culture, politics and everyday life. Gender Studies construct a multidisciplinary minor subject which links well to all subjects taught in the University of Lapland. Instructions for writing learning diaries and essays When taking courses, please contact the teacher by e-mail in order to get more detailed instructions for writing essays and learning diaries. You may concentrate on different areas of Gender Studies, for example Finnish women’s position in a historical perspective; gender and sexuality in culture and society, or more focused on gendered practices in working life or gendered representations in media. A learning diary combines the read literature together with student’s knowledge from her/his own studies and life/work experiences. Students are encouraged to use also newspapers, magazines, social media and web material as data when possible. In an essay the student produces her/his writer’s own analysis and opinion rather than paraphrases what someone else has already said. An essay should have one central theme and a discussion linked to the argument. The title of the essay should relate to the question/problem one wants to discuss. Format guidelines: An essay for 3 ECTS equals 6 printed pages in a standard font (e.g. Times Roman, 12 p), 1.5 line spacing, margins max 2.5 cm/an inch throughout. The works cited and the source of quotations must always be mentioned.

Media Education Bridging Studies (25 ECTS) Organized by the faculty of education Studies Overview Media Education studies are formed of three themes that complement one another. These themes are 1) Media in Teaching and Learning, 2) Media in Society 3) Media and Psychosocial Well-being. Some of the courses in each theme are compulsory, while others can be selected by the students according to their own interests (e.g. literature). 1) Media in Teaching and Learning In this theme students get acquainted with how media as well as information and communication technology (ICT) can be utilised in teaching and learning processes. This is done from the viewpoints of learning theory, constructivism, and society and culture. The students examine the use of media and ICT in different formal and informal learning environment contexts through production, reception, and critical observation. The goal is that the students are able to utilise media and ICT in a pedagogically appropriate manner. They also are familiar with a variety of pedagogical models and methods for using ICT in teaching and learning. The students also learn methods for online guidance and tutoring. They will familiarise themselves with multidisciplinary media education research and can analyse it critically. 2) Media in Society In this theme students get acquainted with the role of media in society and the historical and philosophical foundations of critical media education. This is done through the viewpoints of media and cultural studies, sociology, philosophy, and critical media education. The students examine the mediatization of society and the role of media in the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political, economic, cultural, and gendered structures. The goal is that the students understand the role of media in society and are familiar with theories explaining empowerment, control, and influence of media. Students are also able to search, read, and critically analyse research literature dealing with the role of media in society and the principles of critical media education 3) Media and Psychosocial Well-being In this theme students get acquainted with the roles of media in the psychosocial well-being of individuals and communities. This is done through the viewpoints of social psychology and psychology. The roles of media in the psychosocial well-being of people of all ages are examined especially from the viewpoints of emotional and cognitive processes, behaviour, identity, social relations, and communality. The goal is that students are familiar with theories explaining psychosocial well-being and media effects, and understand the interactive and culturally shaped nature of the relationships of individuals and communities with media. In addition, the goal is that students are able to search, read, interpret, and critically analyse research publications dealing with the topic of media and psychosocial well-being.

Bridging studies are to those students who have no previous media education studies. The courses are also available for exchange students and any other university students who are interested in media education.
