A study module is the main element of the curriculum under which the courses included in the module are compiled. A study module can only be created simultaneously with its structure. For advice on how to create a study module, see the instructions for structure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Descriptions of study modules are used in the Opin.fi service<\/h2>\n \n

Please make the description clear, engaging, and understandable. <\/p>\n

Use the second person (you) in the description fields. <\/p>\n

All descriptions of the study module should be written in both Finnish and English. Finnish descriptions are written in the Finnish fields and English descriptions in the English fields.<\/p>\n

In the description of the study module, try to avoid bullet points, but if necessary, use a dash (\u2013). The \u201cslash\u201d \/ should not be used! <\/p>\n

The study module should only contain one type of course: compulsory, optional, or elective courses.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Information of the study module<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Name in Finnish and in English<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make a descriptive name for the study module indicating the field of study and the targeted competence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If a study module is offered to e.g. students of an open university of applied sciences in the Opin.fi service, you must select ”opinfi” as the classification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optionality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Select the choice from the drop-down menu that describes if the studies compulsory or not. Choices are: All obligatory, Choose one, Choose n, Choose x credts and Choose by separate criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all studies are not compulsory, use only the choice \u2018Choose by separate criteria\u2019. You cannot use Criteria field if you choose other choices!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note. If you select the option \u2018Choose by separate criteria\u2019, the study module does not include compulsory courses. Compulsory courses should be separated from other courses, for example, by means of grouping (ryhmittely in Finnish).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Count \/ ECTS credits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have selected the option \u2018Choose by separate criteria\u2019 in the Optionality section, enter the min\/max number of credits that the student must complete in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: this field does not appear if you have selected ’all obligatory’, ’Choose one’, ’Choose n’ or ’Choose x credits’ under Optionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
