JSBA7150 Expert or volunteer tasks (1–5 cr)

Successful completion of the course requires a) a period of work or voluntary work AND b) submission of a report.

Credits may be awarded for voluntary work or expert work in your own field, provided that the work supports the learning outcomes set for the degree. The work must take place after the start of studies and must be agreed upon in advance with the internship coordinator.

The course includes a report in which the student reflects on their learning and the achievement of the degree's learning outcomes in their work. Instructions for writing the report can be obtained from the internship coordinator. One credit per year of activity can be awarded for tasks or teams in the subject association's divisions or, for example, for participation in the activities of JES ry’s board. These tasks can be applied for at the end of the activity period. Other expert or volunteer work experience is considered on a case-by-case basis, but as a rule, 1 credit corresponds to 27 hours of work. The suitability of these tasks should be discussed with the internship coordinator before starting the work.
