How is the course offer for exchange students done?
We recommend that courses offered to exchange students are ones that are included in the degree programme structures/implementations. This way, foreign students will be enrolled in courses conducted in English conveniently, resulting in a genuinely multicultural study environment that also enables internationalisation at home for our degree students.
If the course offer for exchange students includes courses that are not included in the degree programme structure, the course and its implementation can also be created in Peppi e.g. directly under a separate study module for exchange students created for the programme. Alternatively, they can also be under any other separate study module (e.g. electives, if the course is also open for other than exchange students), after which the course thus created is simply linked under a separate study module for exchange students.
Instructions for course descriptions, implementations and linking to the structures
Add the ExchangeStudent tag in the “Classification” field of the course description for all the courses that are offered for incoming exchange students.
Link the tagged courses to the correct separate study module for exchange students (tag Exchange Studies: xxx)
In shared study offers, the course must be linked to all the separate study modules whose students may take the course.
- For example, a Nursing course and implementation that is also open to Physiotherapy exchange students: the course must be linked in the separate study modules both under Exchange Studies: Nursing and under Exchange Studies: Physiotherapy.
- This allows the student to find all the available courses under their “own” programme and there is no need to write long instructions for how and where to find the “shared offer”.
Certain programmes offered in Finnish are not available as an exchange programme as such. Instead, they link their courses that are open to exchange students together with the corresponding programme offered in English, to a “field-specific share course offer”. Read more in the section “How is the offer for exchange students provided in a field that offers a programme in both Finnish and English?”.
Prepare the implementations for the courses. No separate implementations are needed for exchange students though. Instead, enter the following information in the implementations:
- The number of places agreed upon and reserved for incoming exchange students in the same field with the number of places for degree students, and in the field “Additional information for the student”
- The group codes of the exchange students for whom the implementation is intended. The first letters of the group code come from the degree programme, followed by the code V and code S for the autumn and code K for the spring (e.g. HBI24VS). International Services asks for the group codes for exchange students from the ICT Services.
If the teacher does not decide/enter the number of places reserved for exchange students themselves, the person who enters the information in the implementation must inform the teacher about the number of places reserved for exchange students.
The teacher of the implementation must accept at least as many incoming exchange students to the course as indicated by the agreed-upon number of places. Priority shall be given to the programme’s “own” exchange students. Exchange students in other programmes can be admitted if places remain.
Incoming exchange students enroll for courses in Peppi following their arrival at Jamk at the beginning of the semester!
How is the offer for exchange students provided in a field that offers a programme in both Finnish and English?
According to information received previously from the Schools, the following Finnish-tuition degree programmes do not offer a separate study module of their own and are not available as an exchange programme for incoming exchange students, but are included in the shared offer of the corresponding programme in English.
Finnish-tuition nursing links its studies to the same separate study module with the English-tuition programme:
- Exchange Studies: Nursing
- group code according to the English-tuition group, SNS24VS
Finnish-tuition logistics links its studies to the same separate study module with the English-tuition programme
- Exchange Studies: Purchasing and Logistics Engineering
- group code according to the English-tuition group, TLP24VS
Finnish-tuition business administration and Team Academy link their studies to the same separate study module with the English-tuition programme
- Exchange Studies: Business
- group code according to the English-tuition group, HBI24VS
Finnish-tuition business information technology links its studies to the same separate study module with the English-tuition programme
- Exchange Studies: Business Information Technology
- group code according to the English-tuition group, HTG24VS
Exceptions
Service Business offers its own separate study module and exchange study programme, separate from the English-tuition Tourism programme. The group code for incoming exchange students is in accordance with the Finnish-tuition group, MPT24VS.
In the Finnish-tuition business administration programme, the sport specialisation offers a separate study module of its own for exchange students, and is an exchange programme where exchange students can apply. The group code for incoming exchange students is in accordance with the Finnish-tuition group of the specialisation, HTL24VS.
