MATS901 Maturity Examination for Master's degree (0 cr)
Description
The maturity test is a demonstration of a student’s familiarity with the subject matter of the thesis written for the degree, as well as of command of academic writing style.
The maturity test for the master's degree is written in the language of the degree program. The exception is a student who has received his school education in Finnish or Swedish, but who has not demonstrated his language skills in the above-mentioned languages with the maturity test for a bachelor's degree. In this case, the maturity test is written in the language of school education.
If the student has demonstrated her/his language skills in the same language in the maturity test for a lower university degree, the summary of the student's master's thesis serves as the maturity test for the master's degree. In this case, the maturity test is assessed for both content and language by a representative of the discipline.
Otherwise the maturity test for a master’s degree is a reflective, essay-type expert text written in an exam. The content of the maturity test is assessed by a representative of the
discipline, and the language is assessed by a reviser approved by Movi.
The successful completion of the maturity test requires a passing grade in both content and language.
