Voit myös suorittaa työelämäprojektisi omalle työnantajallesi. Tarvittaessa tuemme sinua sopivan projektin löytämisessä. Voit myös toteuttaa projektisi missä tahansa maassa.

Opintojakso sopii kaikkiin YAMK-ohjelmiin, kaikkien alojen opiskelijoille. Opintojakso voidaan suorittaa suomeksi tai englanniksi koulutusohjelman kielen mukaan.

Kuinka edetä? Ilmoittaudu opintojaksolle ja saat käyttöösi INNOHUB-sisältöpaketin Moodlessa (tammikuun 2025 alusta).

Voit ilmoittautua opintojaksolle läpi lukuvuoden ja voit aloittaa oman projektityösi milloin tahansa. Opintojakson voi suorittaa yksin, pareittain tai ryhmässä. Sovi toteutusmuodosta aina etukäteen.
