Development

The curriculum has been developed together with presentatives of the world of work, teaching staff and students to better correspond to future competence needs. Conceptualizing learning environments and learning communities has been part of the curriculum development work.

Curriculum work has focused on developing student coaching and guidance. During their studies, each student has the possibility of receiving personal coaching and building their independent, student-driven learning path flexibly.

Further information

At Humak, teaching is based on coaching pedagogy. The key elements of coaching pedagogy are learning based on the world of work, collaborative learning, and interaction. Students' learning is built on practical experiences, such as real-life work projects and work placements.

As the studies proceed, coaching pedagogy challenges students to set themselves increasingly demanding tasks, and, simultaneously, the course objectives are deepened.

The competency objectives of studies common to all Humak students in Humak's degree programmes are based on competencies common to all UAS degree programmes. These are learning to learn, navigating the world of work, ethics, internationality and multiculturalism, and proactive development. These competencies lay the foundation for navigating the world of work, for collaboration, and for becoming an expert.
