FACULTY OF ART AND DESIGN
STUDIES IN ENGLISH
The courses for exchange students for the academic year 2012-2013 will be updated in April/May 2012. Please use the current information in attachemnets for planning of your studies.
Following information has been produced to assist international exchange student candidates to plan their studies in the faculty of art and design.
We have created five various modules for the autumn and spring semester of which we ask you to choose the most suitable one/s.
The modules are created to
- inform applicants on the studies when planning the exchange;
- to guarantee students 25 - 30 ECTS credits of studies per semester which is commonly required by partner institutions;
- to avoid overlapping in course timetables;
- to reserve exchange students places in workshops and courses with limited number of students.
International exchange students are expected to complete 25-30 ECTS credits per semester or 50-60 ECTS credits per academic year unless his/her home institution states otherwise.
In Graphic design there is only a small amount of courses in English for the academic year 2011-2012 due to exceptional situation in the group sizes. Applicants to graphic design are thus asked to complete their study plan with other courses within the faculty’s offer or with other courses offered in English by the university. This information is available in www.ulapland.fi/studies.
If a certain module exceeds 30 credits, you can leave out some courses which you do not find relevant for you.
If you are planning to work mainly independently on your artistic production or on your master’s or doctor’s research, you are free to build your own study plan for the exchange period. Students working on artistic production are encouraged to join the course UKUV0601 Practicum II in spring semester.
If you wish to prepare a personal study plan, you are free to do so. However, access to courses with a course size limit will be dependent on the availability of free places and whether you meet the requirements for the course via completed and approved course prerequisite studies and/or course teacher's permission. Information on free places is available prior the start of the course. Please note: Personal study plans may also lead to overlapping classes.
