Our alumni stories
VAMK´s Master degree programs for international students are conducted in a blended learning method
What is blended learning?
In blended learning, there is some contact lectures on campus, but the emphasis of studies is on independent learning and online courses. Mandatory in-person lectures or meetings are scheduled depending on the program, typically during weekday evenings and weekends; please always check the specific dates and times on each implementation’s dedicated pages.
The emphasis in the study is on interaction and teamwork: during your studies, you can share your expertise with other students. The studies are linked closely to your own work tasks, so with the learning tasks and the thesis development project you have the opportunity to develop your own employer organisation or project.
