Foreword

Like higher education throughout Europe, Finnish higher education is in the throes of a major turnaround. The Eu- ropean Higher Education Area (EHEA) proclaimed by politicians and visionaries is now becoming a reality. Even though not all the objectives are being achieved as originally envisaged, the change since 2000 is indeed significant and more is to come by 2010.

The move to a two-tier degree system throughout Europe is a major change. All Finnish students whose studies com- menced in autumn 2005 or later are required to take the bachelor’s degree before completing the master’s. Studies are now measured in terms of Finnish credits, OP, (literally ‘study points’) which are ECTS compatible. This was preceded by a core analysis of the precise amount of work on the part of the student in order to define the extent or credit requirement in courses and modules. It is moreover a requirement of the Ministry of Education, Finland that degrees should be completed in less time and that more efficient use should be made of the time available in an academic year. The University of Tampere has responded by dividing the semesters into two periods. Supervision of students will moreover be stepped up by personal curricula (HOPS).

With all the necessary information on studies now available in English, the result is this ECTS Study Guide describing the curricular content. Please note that not all the courses listed in this Guide are taught during the academic year. Details of the teaching offered each year are available on the Internet at http://www.uta.fi/studies/teaching/.

At this time, there are more than 800 international students at the University of Tampere, about half being exchange students. We hope that our ECTS Study Guide will help you to make the right course selection and better understand the academic and professional content of your Learning Agreement and how this differs from your curriculum in your home university. Understanding and appreciating such curricular differences is in the true spirit of the EHEA.

We at the International Office wish all international students success at the University of Tampere!

Introduction

ECTS Study Guide is a publication primarily intended for international exchange and visiting students of the University of Tampere. The publication contains the course descriptions of such course units, which can be completed in English or in another foreign language. The language of completion can be found in the part “Modes of Study” of each description. Please note that not all the units listed in the publication are being taught during the academic year. A separate teaching schedule is published on the web at: http://www.uta.fi/ studies/teaching/ Some course units that are taught only in Finnish or not at all, can, however, be completed in English through independent study, e.g. by writing an essay or taking an exam on set books that are listed in the description. Course descriptions also include the name or the title of the person in charge of the unit who will provide you with instructions on how to complete the unit by independent study. In addition to the course descriptions, ECTS Study Guide includes a general review of the study system at the University of Tampere. Information on essential study related matters, e.g. grading, transcripts and different ways of completing course units as well as instructions on how to take a book exam are provided. The faculties publish degree programme study guides for the use of their degree students. The curricula and degree requirements can also be found online at: http://www.uta.fi/studies/curricula/

Admission of International Students

Bachelor’s and Master’s Programmes (First and Second cycle) For the first and second cycle degree programmes, international students are selected on the basis of their application documents without any entrance examination. Most of the Finnish applicants are selected for the Bachelor’s programmes on the basis of Matriculation Examination and entrance examination. New students are accepted by the decision of the Dean of the appropriate faculty. The Dean’s decision on acceptance of international students is based on the resources the faculty and the department in question may use for international students´ academic needs. The University ensures that the applicants are treated equally on the basis of their qualifications and abilities in relation to their chosen programme of study. The official language of instruction at the University of Tampere is Finnish, but the University also offers a variety of degree programmes in English. Degree programmes in English are being taught in the Faculties of Eco- nomics and Administration, Humanities and Information Sciences. Also the Faculty of Medicine offers Master’s programmes in health sciences and bioinformatics. In the International School of Social Sciences all programmes are conducted in English. The application deadline for the degree programmes is at the end of January, but the deadline may vary depending on the programme. The International Office publishes annually a guide for applicants that can be found at: http:// www.uta.fi/admissions/degreeprog/ Eligibility: The general requirements state that a student who has completed his/her upper secondary education abroad and is enrolled in or has the necessary qualifications to enter an institution of higher education corresponding to the academic level of the University of Tampere, is eligible to apply for the Bachelor’s programmes at the University of Tampere. A student who has completed a university level Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in the major subject or in a closely related subject is eligible to apply for the Master’s programmes. In addition, there may be programme specific requirements.

Postgraduate Studies (Third cycle) At the University of Tampere, postgraduate studies can be pursued in English in most subjects. Postgraduate studies lead to a Doctor’s degree. A Licentiate degree can be taken before a Doctor’s. As the University of Tampere does not publish a guide for postgraduate applicants for the whole University, the applicants should contact the faculty in question for further information. For deadlines and contact information, please see: http://www.uta.fi/ admissions/degreeprog/ 16 Information on the University of Tampere

Eligibility: The postgraduate degrees can be pursued only after completion of Master’s degree. The general requirements state that a student who has completed a university level Master’s degree or equivalent in the major subject or in a closely related subject is eligible to apply for postgraduate studies. In addition, there may be programme specific requirements.

International Exchange and Visiting Students An exchange student is one, who is a student of a university (or a college), which has an agreement on student exchange (ERASMUS, NORDPLUS, ISEP, FIRST, bilateral agreements) with the University of Tampere and, who studies at the University of Tampere under the terms of such agreement. A visiting student is one, who is currently studying at a university, which does not have an agreement on student exchange with the University of Tampere and, who independently applies to study at the University of Tampere. International exchange and visiting students must be enrolled as degree students at a university (or a college) in their home country and ensure that the studies taken at the University of Tampere will be accepted as part of their studies at the home institution. The application deadline for exchange and visiting students is 15 May for the Autumn Semester arrivals and 31 October for the Spring Semester arrivals. The International Office publishes a Guide for International Exchange and Visiting Students that can be found at: http://www.uta.fi/admissions/exchange/

ECTS Learning Agreement The ECTS Learning Agreement has been developed for the Erasmus students, who spend a limited period at another higher education institution in another country. If you are an Erasmus student, you should enclose the Learning Agreement to your application. At the end of your exchange period, after passing the agreed course units, ask the departmental adviser at your host department to sign it. After that, if your home university requires the Erasmus Institutional Coordinator’s signature, bring your Learning Agreement to the International Office (Main Building, Room A129). Please allow a couple of days for the process. Coordinators of International Education at the International Office are also authorised to sign the Learn- ing Agreement on behalf of the Erasmus Institutional Coordinator. The Learning Agreement of the University of Tampere can be found at: http://www.uta.fi/studies/exchangestudents/

Registration and Academic Calendar

New students are required to register at the Registrar’s Office and present the documents mentioned in the Letter of Acceptance. The registration materials are available from the International Office (Main Building, Room A129). All degree and exchange/visiting students of the University are members of the Student Union of the Uni- versity of Tampere (Tampereen yliopiston ylioppilaskunta, Tamy) and pay the annual membership fee (42,50 euros for one semester, 85 euros for the whole academic year 2008-2009). On payment of this fee, students receive an official student card, which is a key to various student services and discounts (e.g. student health care services, 50% discount on long distance train and bus fares). The payment can be made in any bank. It is most important to keep the receipt for this payment, because you will have to present it when you register at the University. For more information on the Student Union and the benefits of the membership, please see: http://www. tamy.fi. Instructions on how to enrol can be found at: http://www.uta.fi/studies/registration.html

System of Study

Degree Structure A new degree system took effect at the Finnish Universities in August 2005. The extent of a degree is given in credits (in Finnish opintopiste). Finnish credits are ECTS compatible, i.e. one Finnish credit corresponds to one ECTS credit. The minimum requirement for a lower university degree, Bachelor’s degree (=first cycle), is 180 credits. The extent of studies leading to a higher university degree, Master’s degree (=second cycle), is 120 credits (except for Master of Science in Psychology, the extent is 150 credits and for Licentiate of Medicine, 360 credits). In medicine students may continue to pursue their degrees under the old degree system until 31 July 2010. For more information on the degree structure reform, please see: http://www.uta.fi/studies/degreereform/ Postgraduate studies (=third cycle) in Finland, consist of two degrees: Licentiate’s and Doctor’s, the lower of these being a Licentiate degree. A Doctor’s degree may be obtained without first taking a Licentiate. The require- 18 Information on the University of Tampere ments for a Doctor’s degree include an extensive doctoral dissertation and defending it in a public debate. Post- graduate studies can be pursued only after completion of a Master’s degree.

Credits and Workload

The average input of 1600 working hours needed for studies of one academic year corresponds to 60 credits. The working hours include lectures, practical work, seminars, exercises, independent study, written examinations, and research. Thus, the credit system is based on a full student workload and is not limited to contact hours only. The credit system ensures that the programme will be reasonable in terms of workload for the period of study abroad.

Grading Scale The grading scale used at the University of Tampere has been translated into ECTS grades according to the ECTS guidelines.

Grading of Thesis and Dissertations In the case of master’s and licentiates’ thesis and doctoral dissertations, the 7-tier grading scale in Latin (approbatur - laudatur) is usually used.

A L, laudatur; E, eximia B M, magna cum laude approbatur C C, cum laude approbatur D N, non sine laude approbatur E B, lubenter approbatur; A, approbatur

Grading of Exams

ECTS grade University of Tampere Grade Definition A 5 EXCELLENT in Finnish erinomainen/ET B 4 VERY GOOD in Finnish kiitettävä/KT C 3 GOOD in Finnish hyvä/HT D 2 SATISFACTORY in Finnish tyydyttävä/TT E 1 SUFFICIENT in Finnish välttävä/VT Furthermore, the dichotomy pass/fail (HYV/HYL) is used in the course evaluation as such without grading to indi- cate that the student has fulfilled/not fulfilled the requirements set in the curriculum for the course.

Grading of Study Modules The grading scale of study modules is the same as that of the course units. The average grade of the units included in the study module form the overall grade of the module. In the degree certificate, instead of the numerical grading, the following conversion is used:

Grade Definition 5 EXCELLENT in Finnish erinomainen/ET 4 VERY GOOD in Finnish kiitettävä/KT 3 GOOD in Finnish hyvä/HT 2 SATISFACTORY in Finnish tyydyttävä/TT 1 SUFFICIENT in Finnish välttävä/VT

Web Tools: Nettiopsu When students enrol to the University of Tampere, they get access to University IT facilities. With the Basic User Account (BUA) students can browse their examination results, study record and change their contact information using the electronic NettiOpsu in the Internet. Through NettiOpsu, students can also enrol for examinations and some courses. It is also possible for a student to send a transcript of his/her academic records in pdf-format to any e-mail address. You can find NettiOpsu at: http://www.uta.fi/studies/nettiopsu/

Transcript of Academic Records All students receive a transcript of their academic records for the courses taken at the University of Tampere. The transcripts are available both in English and Finnish from the Registrar’s Office. Students will be issued one transcript a year free of charge. If you order an additional transcript, you will be charged 5 euros when collecting it from the post office or from the Registrar’s Office. Please remember that the transcript is valid only when stamped and signed by the official of the University. The transcripts of international exchange/visiting students are automatically issued in English. Finnish credits (in Finnish opintopiste, OP) are ECTS compatible. It is very important to update the contact information at the end of the exchange period and to fill in the transcript order at: http://www.uta.fi/studies/exchangestudents/ At the University of Tampere, study modules, course units and other entities are classified as follows according to the type and the level of studies:

General Studies In Finnish: Yhteiset opinnot Basic Studies Perusopinnot Intermediate Studies Aineopinnot Advanced Studies Syventävät opinnot Language Studies Kieliopinnot Practical Training Harjoittelu Postgraduate Studies Jatko-opinnot Study Module Opintokokonaisuus Credits marked with * on the transcript are accredited to the degree from other institutions in Finland or abroad.

Basic Elements of the Degree

Major Subject Degree students have a major subject, in which scientific knowledge, theory and practice of the field are combined. At the final stage of their studies, students write a thesis based on independent research in a chosen area of the major subject. The Finnish Master’s thesis is a relatively large project and it usually requires a whole year of the student’s studying time.

Minor Subject Degree students must also have one or more minor subjects which are studied to a lesser extent than the major subject. Minor subject(s) can be chosen from a faculty other than the one for which the student is accepted.

Study Module All course units taken by a student belong to a study module (opintokokonaisuus), which is the basic structural entity of the degree programme. The study modules are classified with respect to their contents and position in the curriculum as basic studies (perusopinnot), intermediate studies (aineopinnot) and advanced studies (syventävät opinnot). Study modules comprise a certain number of course units and they represent either one discipline or are interdisciplinary. The study modules usually range from 25 to 65 credits depending on the subject and the level of studies. The purpose of the basic studies is to familiarize the student with the general principles of the study field and its scientific principles and research and to give a broad foundation for further studies. The intermediate studies familiarize the student with the scientific terminology of his/her field of study, with its most important theoretical and methodological concepts, and its most significant research results and problems relevant to the objectives of

20 Information on the University of Tampere the degree programme. The main aim of the advanced studies (syventävät opinnot), is to develop the student’s ability to seek and apply scientific knowledge. Depending on the degree programme, other types of studies (e.g. language and communication studies, supplementary studies) are also included in the degree. The types of studies are marked on the transcript (see previous chapter: Transcript of Academic Records) The Bachelor’s degree consists of basic studies (perusopinnot) and intermediate studies (aineopinnot) in the major subject including a Bachelor’s thesis, studies in one or more minor subjects and language studies. Students may, in many cases, choose their minor subjects fairly freely and even take course units or modules from another university. A large proportion of the master level studies, i.e. advanced studies (syventävät opinnot), is taken up by research. Writing of a thesis is usually the most extensive single study module. A graded study module is a complete part of the degree. If you have an overall grade on the study module, you will not have to take any additional exams even if the requiments of the units would change before completing the degree.

Course Unit Study modules consist of course units. All instruction is planned, arranged and taken in course units. Course units carry a certain number of credits, usually from 3 to 10 credits. In most cases, one unit consists of one or more lecture courses and/or an exam on set books. In addition to lecture courses, other forms of teaching, e.g. exercises, seminars, group work, practical work, and written assignments are used. Once all the course units within a certain study module have been taken, the student asks for an overall grade on the completed module at the department office.

Personal Study Plan HOPS HOPS is a written personal study plan which the student presents to his/her mentor in the department or faculty. All Bachelor’s degree students must make a personal study plan at the beginning of their studies. HOPS is compulsory also for some of the Master’s Programmes. There may be variations between different departments when it comes to contents and the form of HOPS.

Maturity Test A maturity test based on the thesis is compulsory for all degree students and it is taken after the completion of the thesis. The students with Finnish/Swedish as the language of their elementary education will write the test in Finn- ish/Swedish. If the elementary education has been taken in some other language, the maturity test is taken in Eng- lish. The language of the maturity test is the same as that of the education of the student. Maturity test is a written examination, which is taken on a faculty examination day. Registration is done through the thesis supervisor in the same way as for an examination on set books (see chapter Proceeding in Studies). The main aim of the maturity test is to verify that the student has written the thesis him- or herself. The main examiner of the thesis prepares one or more questions or topics, which are related to the theme of the thesis. The student writes a four page essay without any long and complex sentences about the topic(s), with a clear handwriting and give a title to it. The content must follow the title and the answer must be an independent entity, which can be understood without any previous knowledge of the thesis. Stylistically, the maturity test should be written according to the standards of academic writing. Too abstract language should be avoided and the usage of theoretical terms should be moderate. Language Centre of the University of Tampere will check the language used in the answer. If the content, the language and the grammar are considered to be acceptable, the student will pass. As it is not a memory test, the dichotomy ‘pass’ and ‘fail’ is used in the evaluation.

Proceeding in Studies

Completion of Courses

Planning of the Study Schedule The Finnish system of academic education gives students a lot of freedom to plan and schedule their studies. This means that planning the schedule for the academic year, i.e. choosing the subjects and course units, matching the times of lectures and keeping the schedule intensive throughout the studies, requires a lot of activity and responsibility on the part of the student. During the Orientation Course, new students will be given information on how to plan a study schedule. Exchange and visiting students receive a Letter of Acceptance from one faculty for only one subject. Despite this, they can take courses at any faculty to form a larger multi-disciplinary entity according to their own needs and interests, if they meet the requirements of a course unit (previous or equivalent courses taken, knowledge of the language of instruction) and if there are still places left. For up-to-date information on course units offered in foreign languages during the academic year, please see: http://www.uta.fi/studies/teaching/ For some course units, students have to sign up in advance using a course enrolment service NettiOpsu at http://www.uta.fi/studies/nettiopsu/. For some units, there are sign-up lists at the departments’ noticeboards.

How to Complete Course Units? Attending courses and seminars is not the only way to proceed in your studies. Depending on the unit, you may fulfill the requirements, for example, by:

• attending the lecture and taking the examination consisting of e.g. a written paper and/or a practical/oral test • attending the lecture, reading the text books and taking the written examination at the end of the course or on a general Faculty examination day • attending the class and completing the associated work assignments, e.g. writing a reflective course diary or writing an essay on the topics defined by the lecturer •independent study, e.g. reading the required literature and taking an exam on set books on a general Faculty examination day or writing an essay on the topics defined by the lecturer If you have any doubts concerning the fulfillment of requirements of course units, please do not hesitate to contact the teacher. There may be special solutions available for exchange and visiting students. For example, it may also be possible for international students to complete a course unit taught only in Finnish by writing an essay or taking an examination on set books on a faculty examination day.

Book Examinations

How to Enrol for a Book Examination? Some course units may be completed by independent study of literature included in the course unit requirements. Examinations on set books are taken on faculty examination days usually arranged once a month. For an examination on set books, students must sign up at least seven (7) days before the exam by leaving a sign-up envelope in the assigned box at the departments. If the examination day is Saturday, the envelope must be left in the box on Thursday of the previous week at the latest. For some book examinations you must sign up electronically through NettiOpsu. For detailed information, please see each course unit description or contact the teacher in charge or your departmental adviser. If the course unit requirements include literature in Finnish, feel free to contact the teacher in charge to find out if Finnish books could be replaced. Note, that special arrangements must be announced upon enrolment.

22 Information on the University of Tampere

Some course units can also be completed by writing an essay based on an independent study. Please contact the teacher or your departmental adviser for further information.

Summer Examinations Courses can be taken also in the summer time. List of the course units that can be taken during the summer months (June - August), is published annually at: http://www.uta.fi/studies/summerexams/instructions.html. It may be possible to take exams outside the summer exam lists through a special agreement with the teacher. Such agreements should be made already in May. Some teachers also accept essays during the summer. Writing essays also requires a separate agreement with the teachers.

Book examination rules

When taking a book exam, you must follow the examination rules:

Before the exam, wait outside the lecture hall. The supervisor of the exam (not necessarily the teacher of your course) will come outside the lecture hall and call students by their name (in alphabetical order). When you hear your name, take the question papers or envelope from the supervisor and go into the lecture hall. Paper for your answers will be available at the ends of the rows, you can take as many as you think you will need.

Find a seat in the lecture hall. Do not sit next to anyone if there is room in the lecture hall but leave an empty seat in between. Leave your bag and coat on the floor at the end of the row. Take with you to your seat only the things you need to write the exam, for instance a pen or a pencil and an eraser. Water bottles are also allowed.

Do not open the question envelope or look at your questions before the supervisor gives permission to do so. You need to wait until everyone is seated and when everyone is ready, the supervisor will give permission to start.

During the exam, please do not talk and do not leave the lecture room without permission. If you need anything, go to the supervisors of the exam to ask for help.

You will have four hours to complete your exam. The exact time when you must finish will be given when the exam starts. You will be allowed to leave the exam at the earliest 20 minutes after the start of the exam. After the first 20 minutes, you can leave anytime, as soon as you have finished the exam.

When you are finished, return your answers as well as the question papers to the supervisor. You need to return the question paper even if you have not answered any of the questions. When you hand in your papers, you need to show the supervisor of the exam some ID, such as your UTA student ID or passport. Re- member to write your name on all of your answer papers!

Good luck in your exams!

Acts of cheating

Acts of cheating at the University of Tampere include the following:

• Any attempt to refer to any document or recording during an examination is strictly not allowed, unless it has been specifically stated that you can use for example dictionaries.

• Any attempt to read what another candidate in the examination room is writing is cheating, whether or not you make use of it in your own answer.

• Any attempt to seek information or communicate with anyone inside or outside the examination room during the course of the examination is considered as cheating.

Cheating also includes plagiarism (i.e. using direct or paraphrased quotations or ideas from other sources, including both print references and the internet, in your own writing without duly acknowledging it). Plagiarism is a serious academic offence. Please note that sources used in student writing are routinely checked by examiners. If you use sources from textbooks or the Internet without specifically stating these in the way normally considered good academic practice, you will be deemed guilty of plagiarism. If you are uncertain about how to state the sources, please consult your instructor or departmental adviser before submitting your paper.

1) If an attempt to cheat is discovered during an examination your paper will be disqualified on the spot and you will be removed from the room. If the cheating is identified only later, the paper(s) will likewise be disqualified.

2) The matter may on consideration be referred for disciplinary action within your Department.

3) More serious cases will be referred to the Rector to be dealt with at her discretion under University’s own rules and other appropriate national legislation.

Course Unit Descriptions

Economics

At the University of Tampere, studies in Economics offer two possibilities of orientation: general economics and public economics. The choice of general economics offers specialization in finance, labour economics and econometrics. These fields provide a diversity of expertise. Students acquire general skills which are useful in the analysis and solution of economic problems. For this very reason, economics is a particularly popular minor subject in the university as a whole. Graduates typically find themselves as experts in private enterprises and in civil service, e.g. in banks, insurance companies, other financial institutions, firms involved in foreign trade or international enterprise, research institutes, international organizations and public administration both in Finland and abroad. Research priorities: monetary economics, money and banking, corporate finance and taxation, trade policy, exchange rate policy, open economy macroeconomics, dynamics of labour markets, productivity and wages, structural development, endogenous growth, disequilibrium growth, direct investments, social security, economics of education and learning by doing, optimal taxation, migration and taxation, applied econometrics of financial markets and options, tests for unit roots and cointegration, etc. More information: http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/talti/ktal/engindex.html Economics portrays the economic behavior of citizens, corporations and various public organizations etc, as well as the operation of the market economy based on economic behavior. Both a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s De- gree in Science (Econ.) as well as in Social Science (Econ.) are available for a student who has been accepted as a degree student in economics.

Accounting and Finance

Money makes the world go around - accounting makes the money go round. In teaching accounting we equip our students with the skills needed in work involving financial management and corporate finance. Examples of such skills are the development and operation of accounting systems, financial planning and control and economic decision-making. Our main teaching fields are financial accounting and reporting, and management accounting. Courses include many practical exercises using microcomputers. In addition to financial and management accounting, our research interests centre on the organizational and behavioural aspects of accounting, accounting systems and financial institutions. Examples of work in progress are the role of budgeting as a mechanism for organizational control, accounting and strategy, the human dimensions of accounting and the accounting systems needed for new production methods. Internationalisation is very important and so both our teaching and research covers EU legislation on bookkeeping and the disclosure of accounting information.

Local Public Economics

From economic perspectives, local authorities have two main tasks. Firstly municipalities produce and organise services to local citizens (municipality as a corporation). Secondly municipality contributes to economy of their jurisdictions (municipality as an actor in regional economy). Both perspectives are the main teaching and research themes in field of local public economic and finance. Municipalities as corporations consist of different sub units like gross or net-budgeted agencies, local public utilities, corporations and joint municipal authorities. Mainly local tax revenues finance the services, which are produced and organised by municipalities. Nevertheless several local public utilities and corporations sell their services by subsidised or market prices. A central tool of managing municipalities is a budget in which goals of different activities are decided. Members of city or municipal council decide by the budget local tax rates and services, which have to be arranged. All kind of cut downs, public savings, recovery programmes and new investments will be decided by the budgets. Experts of local public economics must unconditionally understand all functions and principles of the management of municipalities and know tools, which is used in governing and understanding economy. This kind of tools is provided by accounting, which produces the main information for mayors and managers of municipalities. Studies of local public economics include courses in bookkeeping, management accounting, finance, auditing and analysis of local public finance. Another perspective of the studies of local public economics is regional economy, because municipalities are important contributors and actor of local economic development. Municipalities create premises also for local business activities. This kind of policy is important in improving local employment. An active business community and local private services also benefit and support everyday life of local citizens. Municipality as an actor in regional economy theme is concerned in courses of local, regional and urban economics. Local public economy is a central part of the modern economic life. It is important for local public economists to understand economical phenomena as extensively as possible. In order to support learning processes of the students, the discipline offers a wide selection of courses not only in accounting and finance but also economics.

Pragmatically-oriented education in law and insurance science is designed to serve the needs of both private and public sectors. Research carried out at the Department extensively covers various fields of law. In research, investigation into law and insurance science is linked with approaches of administrative or economic sciences. Interna- tional and European developments are closely followed in research and education. Public law is a subject dealing with the State, local governments and other public corporations, their juridical structures and operations, as well as the legal norms concerning the use of public power and the citizens’ rights. The University of Tampere is the only university in Finland to offer a degree programme in local public law. Local public law covers, among other things, rules and regulations pertaining to municipal services essential for local residents, and the relationships between the norms and the practice. Closely tied to economic and financial phenomena, tax law comprises personal and corporate taxation, international taxation and value-added taxation. Tax law is also associated with business law and economic sciences. Business law includes fields of law that are related with companies and their operations, such as company law, labour law, law on contracts, law on credits and collat- erals, and market law. Insurance science is unique as a discipline in Finland, and the University of Tampere is the only university providing an opportunity to take insurance science as a major subject. Insurance systems and risk management, and their role in society and corporate world are subject to study in insurance science.

Insurance

Insurance is extensively instrumental in guiding and regulating national legislation and the behaviour of individuals. Insurance as a science is also concerned with financial aspects on insurance system and risk management. The objective of the basic studies in insurance is to give the central information about society, the research fields and theories of insurance. Personal and corporate insurance studies will acquaint with the theoretical principles of insurance and give an overall picture of different types of insurance schemes and companies in the field. Social insurance includes the Finnish insurance system, the principles applied to social insurance together with the main functions and the central benefits in the national and employment pension schemes as well as the sickness insurance and unemployment security systems. Practical training has a significant role in insurance studies by joining theory to practice. Practical training system has been maintained for a long time and this has made it possible to create good and trustful relations towards the insurance field. Practical training also makes it smooth to find work after graduation. In some course units teaching in English may be arranged at short notice.

HEEM - European Master Programme in Higher Education

International Coordinator: Ms. Tea Jansson Department of Management Studies Tel. +358-3-3551 4108 or +358 50 421 1074 (mobile phone) e-mail: [email protected] The European Master Programme in Higher Education (HEEM) is an Erasmus Mundus co-operation and mobility programme in the field of higher education. This Master Programme is offered in cooperation by the University of Oslo (coordinator), the University of Tampere and the University of Aveiro. Through the eyes of various disciplinary perspectives and the introduction of general disciplinary concepts and theories, this programme discusses and analyses change processes in higher education originating both inside and outside the traditional institutional and national frames. Examples of such change processes are: • The recent (re-)discovery by international bodies and agencies, such as UNESCO, the OECD, the World Bank and development aid organisations, of higher education as a crucial sector with respect to creating sustainable socio-economic development and strengthening cultural consciousness. • The growing impact of globalisation and trade liberalisation (e.g. WTO) on higher education. • The growing attention for the quality of teaching, research and services, both nationally as well as internationally. • The intensifying use of ICT in higher education. The Department of Management Studies at the University of Tampere, is in charge of the teaching of the courses focusing on organization, governance and management of higher education and methodological courses. The courses are master-level advanced studies, and students participating are expected to have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent studies completed. Teaching is only available in the spring semesters. For more information on the programme and on how to apply, please see: http://www.uv.uio.no/hedda/masterpro- gramme/heem.html

Department of Regional Studies

Located in Pinni A Building

Departmental Adviser: Ms. Terhi Nieminene e-mail: [email protected]

Regional Studies Regional Studies is a field of social sciences whose educational goals and content are not found in the same form in any other Finnish university. Students completing the program become professionals who fulfil international requirements and bridge the borders between public and private sectors. Also the production of high-level research related to change occurring in society and its management is a major task. Both teaching and research concentrate on the interaction between theory and practice. This is done by using a problem solving approach to instruction and with practical courses. The Ministry of Education named the Department of Regional Studies and Environmental Policy a quality unit for the period 1999–2000 and again for the period 2001–2003. The justification for this distinction included the teaching combining theory and practice, alternative teaching methods and the close cooperation between personnel and students. A specialised Research Unit for Urban and Regional Development Studies, Sente, is affiliated to Regional Stud- ies. The strengths of this “R&D” unit include urban policy, local and regional economic policy and regional planning and management. Sente operates in the town of Seinäjoki and in Tampere. Regional Studies (originally Social and Economic Ecology) aims at introducing the student to social, economic, demographic and administrative problems of society from the spatial point of view. In the teaching of Regional Studies the objective is to provide an overall understanding of human environment and the functions of the various organisations in declining or growing regions, and of the opportunities for managing change. Teaching stresses capabilities in practical problem-solving. The essential elements of the subject contains both theoretical and practical issues concerning e.g. regional development, management and planning. Studies in Regional Studies equip graduates for employment in research, planning, evaluation, education, management and consultation in both the public and private sectors. Feedback from employers indicates that those graduating in Regional Studies are capable of functioning in a creative manner in new situations and of meeting the challenge posed by incessant change.

Environmental Policy Environmental policy aims at introducing the student to social aspects of environmental problems. Teaching in Environmental Policy has a dual purpose: on the one hand it provides an overall picture of the social nature of environmental problems and the means for resolving these, and on the other it presents the main policy instruments and their background. The teaching includes extensive special courses through which students are introduced to practical tasks in the field. Theories of regional, national and international environmental policy are introduced, as well as applied to research. Administrative, economic and environmental management are emphasised through special courses. Re- search projects in Environmental Policy focus on fundamental issues relating to the interaction between society and nature as well as practical issues of environmental policy and management. Instruction is mainly given in Finnish. Students can take courses organised in English by other departments, if participation is not restricted due to nature of the courses. It is also possible to participate for special architecture and environmental technology courses at the Tampere University of Technology. For further information about these options contact faculty administration. Students at all levels are encouraged to organize personal study programs with the departmental staff. Some courses may be offered in English. Study program Environmental Policy (in cooperation with the Inter- national School of Social Sciences, ISSS) is planned especially for international students. All the literature in this study program’s book exams is in English and some courses might be organized in English. Detailed information about course possibilities is announced before terms. For further information see also ISSS study guide.

Local governance and community development Local governance or local politics and policy is multidisciplinary field of study addressing many kinds of issues important in local governance, related to service production, participation and democracy and regional development. The main feature distinguishing local governance from other subjects in the faculty and the university is its focus on local governments and local self-governance. The research almost always focuses on phenomena and problems of local governance. Management of local government is the most important issue including administrative as well as political dimensions. One very important theme is change in society and local governance with all the complex effects it has on the structures and processes of local government. Community development engineering is concerned with physical infrastructure, including physical planning, environmental policy, construction and many kinds of technical services. Local governance and community development engineering are practice -oriented fields of study building bridg- es between researcher and user and focusing on real life problems of local governments. Many studies are implemented together with such organisations like Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities, Foundation of Municipal Development or the Ministry of Interior- which all are important stakeholders in the development of local government in Finland. Much enquiry in the local governance is essentially some form of evaluation. Can a municipality improve its performance in service production by adapting a new way of managing services? Or how does a local government reform achieve the goals that have been set for it by the central government? The main research areas are following • Local and regional self-government • Management of local governments, especially New Public Management and Local Governance • Regional reorganisation, intermunicipal cooperation and the future development of local governance • Functioning of the systems of the welfare state • The role of local government in the information society, egovernment

Faculty of Education in Brief he Faculty of Education has, since its founding in 1974, been carrying out research and giving training in the field of education and lifelong learning. The Faculty consists of the Department of Education, the Department of Teacher Education and two Teacher Training Schools in the towns of Tampere and Hämeenlinna. The Department of Teacher Education provides Class Teacher Education and Kindergarten Teacher Education as well as pedagogical studies for prospective subject teachers. Tampereen normaalikoulu, the Tampere Teacher Training School, includes the higher stage comprehensive school and the upper secondary school; Hämeenlinnan normaalikoulu, the Hämeenlinna Teacher Training School, includes the lower stage comprehensive school. Working in connection with the Department of Education is the Research Centre for Vocational Education. This is headed by a professor specialised in vocational education. It provides further education at university level for those pursuing studies in the field. Key research areas are currently Professional Growth and Development, Self- Directed and Transformative Adult Learning and also Motivation and Learning Strategies. There are about 1,700 students in the Faculty, of which some 1,100 are studying for basic degrees and some 300 for postgraduate degrees.

The Mission of the Faculty The mission of the Faculty is to carry out research into lifelong learning and education within the context of social change and working life. On the basis of this research, the faculty aims to offer academic teaching of the highest quality. The basic degrees in education provide competence and expertise for a wide range of work in the field of education and schooling. Along with internationalization, multiculturalism, information technology and new forms of education (e.g. distance education), there will also be new kinds of professional tasks. The future will see a shift in the significance of study as responsibility for professional development falls increasingly to imployees themselves. A solid basic education is essential in laying the foundation for professional skills.

Degree Programmes in Education The Faculty of Education offers the first and second degrees of Bachelor of Education and Master of Education, and also the postgraduate degrees of Licentiate of Education, and Doctor of Education/Philosophy. The two major subjects at the Faculty are Education and Adult Education. The Bachelor´s degree consists of basic and intermediate studies in the major subject, including a Bachelor´s thesis, and of minor subject studies. In addition the degree includes interdisciplinary, general and language studies. The full extent of the first degree of the Bachelor of Education is 180 ECTS. Completion of the degree requires approximately three years of full-time study. The Master´s degree (120 ECTS) takes two years after the Bachelor´s degree. The degree programme consists of advanced studies in the major subject and of minor subject studies. Advanced studies require students to carry out independent scientific research, culminating in the writing of a Master´s thesis. Minor subjects can be chosen relatively freely from among the courses offered by other faculties, other Finnish universities or from institutes abroad.

Departmental Adviser: Leena Pohjasmäki, Departmental Administrator Tel. +358-3-3551 7309 Fax. +358-3-3551 7502 E-mail: [email protected] The two major subjects at the Department of Education are Education and Adult Education. With intermediate and advanced studies in Adult Education the focus is on the position of adults´ study and its importance in society. These studies examine adult learning and the special features of teaching adults as well as adults´ professional development. The objective is that the student should perceive adult learning and adult education and training as part of a development process which lasts throughout a person´s life. Intermediate and Advanced Studies in Education deal with the processes of upbringing, education and learning and also research within social and organisational contexts. Students of the Department of Education are encouraged to become educational professionals with both specialized and wide ranging knowledge. By selecting studies in their major subject and through their choice of minors, students can themselves influence the structure of their final degree. Those with a master´s degree in education find placements in teaching and training, as well as in administrative planning, expert and management functions for national or local government or for private employers. Internationalisation, multiculturalism and the further development of different ways of implementing education including multimedia and ODL (Open and Distance Learn- ing) and also the inclusion of teaching skills in various requirements for professional competence creates scope for the creation of new types of jobs and professions. The annual intake of students is about 60. At the Department of Education, the main language of instruction if Finnish. Courses taught in English are given only occasionally. International students may, however, earn credits by taking exams based on literature or by coming to other arrangements with the teacher in charge.

The Department of Teacher Education in Hämeenlinna is located 75 kilometers south of Tampere and the main university campus. This town of 47,000 inhabitants is the administrative capital of the Province of Southern Finland. It is the birthplace of the great Finnish composer Jean Sibelius and famous for its medieval brick castle. The Department of Teacher Education in Hämeenlinna is in charge of the programme for primary school teachers offering a Bachelor’s and a Master´s degree programmes in educational sciences. The total number of students is about 400, and every year approximately 60 of them take the degree. The annual intake is currently 60-70. De- spite the distance the regional unit campus has close connections with the main university, and the students study on equal terms. Masters of Education graduating from Hämeenlinna are mainly employed as primary teachers in comprehensive schools. However, the basis of the programme is rather widegeneral, offering, for example, good possibilities for post-graduate studies and employment in other sectors of education, as well. The instruction in the degree programmes is based on educational studies and multididactic studies, focusing on the traditional school subject studies. Problem-based pedagogy is the main curricular strategy. Basic and intermediate studies in education have been divided into six blocks that are the center of all studies. In addition to educational and multididactic studies students must also specialize in some of the following minor subjects: environmental studies, information technology for teachers, physical education, media education, visual arts, Finnish, English, technology, preprimary instruction and primary education, textile arts, or music. The full extent of the Bachelor’s degree is 180 ECTS and requires approximately three years of full time study. The Master’s degree (120 ECTS) takes two years after the Bachelor’s degree.

Kindergarten teacher education is a part of teacher training at the University of Tampere. The mission of the unit is threefold: basic teaching, research and continuing education. The education is built up on the conception of the human being according to which human growth and activities supporting this, education, are perceived as a phenomenon of the entire lifespan. This is contemplated from the standpoint of the individual, the community and society. Kindergarten teachers are professionals of early childhood and pre-school education. Training for kindergarten teachers renders them competent for pre-school education, education, counselling and teaching jobs and also for demanding tasks in management, development and planning. The education focuses particularly on the education and teaching of children below school age in different environments. The objectives of the education are that the student become familiar with - the science of education and its various methods for the acquisition of knowledge - the philosophical, societal and psychological bases for pedagogical action and the implementation of practical education and teaching work - communication and co-operation skills. Early childhood education is characteristically interdisciplinary. Apart from education, the training in early childhood education has connections particularly with the social sciences and the humanities, for instance in fields that study arts and communication. Given its connection to the child’s growth, development and learning, early childhood education is concerned with the environment in which the child grows: the family and day care. Research in the unit addresses both basic research and areas of applied research. Research in early childhood education focuses mainly on childhood as well as the development and education of the child as a psychological, social and cultural phenomenon and activity. At present ongoing research in the unit is concerned with the growth and development of the child and learning in different environments, expertise in pre-school education, development of methods and leadership, multiprofessionalism in early childhood education and the future perspective in the education and work of teachers. The curriculum leading to the Bachelor’s degree in education for the kindergarten teacher education consists of 180 ECTS in all. The curriculum comprises orientation studies (6 ECTS), language- and communication studies (14 ECTS), basic and intermediate studies in the major subject, education (75 ECTS, including learning at work, 15 ECTS), studies providing professional skills for posts in early childhood and pre-school education (60 ECTS) and studies in minor subjects (25 ECTS). The minor “Pre-school and primary education” includes in professional studies. The Bachelor’s degree requires approximately three years of study.

76 Faculty of Education

Since the autumn term 2000 the new students intake for training as kindergarten teachers have studied according to a reformed curriculum based on problem-based learning. Studies stress learning in the group and independent study, and this will be supported by group teaching, theoretical overviews (in lectures) and practical work. The main form of studies and the driving force in the learning process is the tutorial work run by tutor teachers. In tutor sessions there will be discussion on issues relating to each study block, its problems and scenarios. Those who have taken the Bachelor’s degree in education within kindergarten teacher education mostly find placements in day-care centres, as kindergarten teachers, in management or in the supervision of registered child- minders. Some of these graduates also find placement in the service of organisations in need of expertise on early education. The Master´s programme in education with special reference to early childhood education comes after the Bachelor´s degree. The education is planned in such a way that the student is equipped to tackle the requirements for a higher degree in education. Such areas include education, planning and development functions, research, supervision of organisations in early childhood education, administration and management. The Department has an annual intake of 48 students for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Education) on the basis of a joint selection procedure and an entrance examination. About the selection procedure for the degree of Mas- ter of Arts (Education, Early Childhood Education) applicants can find information in annual applicants guide or from the Unit of Early Childhood Education.

Study options for international students In Kindergarten teacher education the main language of instruction is Finnish. Other arrangement possibilities can be inquired from the Unit for Early Childhood Education. However there are plenty of courses given in foreign languages at the other faculties of the University of Tampere. Exchange students may attend courses freely if participation is not restricted due to the nature of the course.

The subject teacher’s basic overall qualification is the higher university degree (MA/ MSc) and it is done in the university faculties in which the students carry out their major subject studies. The Department of Teacher Educa- tion is in charge of the teacher’s pedagogical studies contained in the higher university degree. The teacher’s pedagogical studies give a comprehensive pedagogical qualification to teach in comprehensive schools, upper secondary and vocational schools, in a number of adult institutions and in tertiary level institutions. The studies have a didactic emphasis and include the student teaching. Full-time students can complete the pedagogical studies within an academic year. The teacher’s pedagogical studies are a minor subject and can be completed either as part the MA degree or as separate studies after the degree. The pedagogical studies are organised in cooperation with the faculties providing the major subject studies for the secondary (and tertiary level) teachers. In addition to the university faculties, the Polytechnic University of Tampere also has an option for engineering students to do the teacher’s pedagogical studies as a minor subject in their higher degree of engineering. The student teaching is carried out at the Teaching Practice School of the University and in several other secondary and tertiary level institutions in Tampere region, in cooperation with the Department of Teacher Education. The Department of Teacher Education has a long-term cooperation (since 2000) with St. Martin’s College, Lan- caster and Carlisle, UK, whereby students can apply for an option to do a dual teacher certificate in some subjects (French, German, English, history and mathematics). The students carry out their subject studies in Tampere Uni- versity and do their pedagogical studies both in St Martin’s College and in Tampere University. The candidates apply to both institutions according to the same procedures and admission criteria as when applying to Finnish teacher education. Students stay at St. Martin’s College for an academic year (from early September to mid-July) and are supposed to achieve the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Successful completion of the PGCE course is recognised as equivalent to 22 Finnish credits in education. Upon their return the students do the remaining pedagogical studies (13 credits) in order to complete the Finnish qualifications for the teacher’s pedagogical studies (35 Finnish credits). These qualifications are recognised throughout the European Union, subject to agreements between the member states.

Philosophy

Philosophy studies generally and theoretically problems of the man and the world: for example questions related to knowledge, being, and morality. Philosophy has its origin in everyday thought but compared to everyday reasoning, philosophy is more systematic and attempts to justify its claims and approaches as clearly and rigorously as possible. Philosophy is usually divided into theoretical and practical philosophy. Theoretical philosophy examines problems related to reality, rationality and knowledge, while practical philosophy studies questions concerning the human being, culture, and communities. Traditionally the main fields of philosophy have been metaphysics, logic, epistemology, ethics, and social philosophy. Since tradition has an important role in philosophy, the history of philosophy is also an important object of study. Science and philosophy were for a long time synonymous and different sciences only gradually grew into independent fields. However, philosophy is still in many ways connected to different fields of science. One of the tasks of philosophy is to study the foundations, central concepts, methods and theories of these fields of science as well as theoretical reasoning. Today, logic is a field common to mathematics, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy. As a part of philosophy it is both historically and systematically an important object of study, but philosophers can also use it to clarify concepts and theories. The basic studies in philosophy give an overview of the nature of philosophical thought and the different fields within philosophy. The intermediate studies focus on these questions in more depth. Courses on history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy, logic and philosophy of science are common to all students. In addition, students will choose elective courses that belong to either theoretical or practical philosophy. If a student chooses to focus on theoretical philosophy, he/she can study metaphysics and ontology, the philosophy of the mind and cognition, or philosophy of language. If he or she prefers practical philosophy, he/she can focus on ethics and social philosophy, and the philosophy of culture and art. Intermediate studies also include participation in a proseminar. The advanced studies comprise of studies within two fields of the following six: a) modern and contemporary philosophy, b) history of logic, philosophical logic, and philosophy of language, c) metaphysics, d) epistemology and philosophy of science, e) ethics and social philosophy, and f) philosophy of culture and art. The studies involve practice in philosophical writing and argumentation from the beginning, but an additional course on philosophical writing and argumentation has to be taken as a part of advanced studies. It facilitates the work done in seminars and writing the pro gradu (i.e. Master’s) thesis as well as trains students in philosophical discussion. The philosophy courses are mainly offered only in Finnish. There are occasional lectures or lecture series by visitors that are given in English. Information about these can be found on the philosophy bulletin board and online. However, you can study philosophy at the University of Tampere by taking book exams and writing essays.

For further information, please contact the Departmental Adviser. The Department of Literature and the Arts offers a training in literary history, textual theory, narrative poetics, and theatre and drama studies. This small but effectual department comprises four subjects: Finnish Literature, Comparative Literature, Theatre and Drama Research, and Art History. The staff includes four full professors (including a shared chair in Art History), three senior assistant professors, one junior assistant professor, a director (in Theatre and Drama Research), and administrative amanuensis, and a departmental secretary. In addition, the department has a number of part-time teachers: visiting professors (docents) and teaching assistants. Research is pursued in all major subjects, and the department encourages postgraduate studies. Until now, lectures and other instruction have been given mostly in Finnish, but tutoring in Swedish, English and German is available. Course books are in Finnish, English, Swedish and German. The course of studies in Finnish Literature aims to develop skills in understanding and analyzing various literary texts in a broad cultural context. The central teaching objective is to provide a thorough knowledge of Finn- ish literary history, general literary theory and methodology. In addition, the subject offers instruction in creative writing and the teaching of literature. Students of Finnish Literature will usually enter professions such as education, library work, publishing, theatre, cultural administration, journalism, or media communication. The aim of Comparative Literature is to provide a broad training in the systematic study of literature and literary phenomena. The field of the discipline includes classical literature, popular fiction, literary nonfiction (excluding Finnish literature), literary history, textual theory and methodology, and poetics. Students of Comparative Litera- turegain expertise in literature and verbal art. Depending on the choice of subsidiary subject(s) they will become researchers, teachers, critics, translators, journalists, or specialists in cultural administration. Theatre and Drama Research provides its students with specialized training in the analysis of theatre and drama literature. The subject gives a broad understanding of the theatre and drama as an art form, as a medium, and as an institution. The research environment of the discipline includes studying the current phenomena of theatre art, Finnish as well as foreign drama literature from Classical times to the present-day, theatre history and connections between the theatre and contemporary drama in other media. Theatre and Drama Research trains professionals in many fields, including researchers, drama and creative writing instructors, critics, journalists and cultural administrators, depending on the student’s minor subjects. In cooperation with the Universities of Warwick and Amsterdam, Theatre and Drama Research coordinates the Erasmus Mundus Master’s Program MA in International Performance Research (MAIPR). Art History is concerned with the entire field of visual culture. The discipline offers a thorough training in the theory and methodology of visual arts and familiarises students with different schools and periods in art history. Studying Art History requires an active interest in both pictorial arts and architecture. Being a minor subject, Art History can be combined with, for example, such major subjects as History, Literature, Language Studies, Journa- ism and Mass Communication, and Information Studies. 98 Faculty of Humanities

The Department of Music Anthropology is one of the departments of the Faculty of Humanities in the University of Tampere. The main focus of research and teaching is on different manifestations of folk and popular music which are regarded both as art and as a part of social life. The Department is particularly specialized in ethnomusicological research of arts, and in cultural and social anthropology. Functionally the Department of Music Anthropology is divided into two units: the teaching unit and the Folklife Archives unit. The extensive archives include recordings, photographs, manuscripts, records and musical instruments. The collection of the materials for the archives was begun in the 1940’s. Today, the archives are the most important in the field of folk and popular music in Finland. The Department of Music Anthropology is one of the very few academic institutions in Europe where practically all the teaching and research activities concentrate on ethnomusicology, dance anthropology and popular music studies. The Department has plans to launch two special programs for master’s degree, first in the field of dance research, in participation with Nordic master’s degree in dance studies of NOFOD (Nordic Forum for Dance Re- search) and second in the field of rhythm music, in collaboration with Sibelius Academy (Helsinki). The main subject in the Department is ethnomusicology. However, it is also possible to take basic courses in musicology and general ethnology.

Course Unit Descriptions

While the tuition is usually given in Finnish, the Department tries to accommodate its own exchange students as efficiently as possible. Independent studies in the faculty, attendance in seminars and independent research with a supervisor are all recommended modes of study for an exchange student at our Department. Also at least one of our courses is annually taught in English.

English Philology

English Philology is understood as a broad academic discipline spanning English language and linguistics and the literatures and cultures of English-speaking peoples. The English Department’s teaching objective is to produce specialists in the field of English language and literature, who through their studies develop a familiarity with the cultures of the English-speaking world, in particular with British and American culture and society. This specialist knowledge is essential to many English students who will go on to become teachers; but it is also important to those who enter professions such as translation, tourism, journalism, the diplomatic service, etc. The Department sees it as part of its function to carry out and promote research in the field of English language and literature. Its current strengths in research are in the fields of English grammar and lexicology, corpus linguistics, British and North American literature, rhetoric and stylistics. The Department contributes to the post-graduate studies in the North American Studies programme. A central aim of the degree programme is naturally to develop and maintain students’ language skills, since a high level of proficiency in English and a sophisticated understanding of the workings of the language are required both by those who will enter professions such as teaching and those whose will engage in post-graduate studies and research in English. The degree programme also aims to provide both a thorough general grounding in English studies and the opportunity for in-depth studies of areas of special interest, allowing specialisation in linguistics, language teaching or literature. The aim of preparing students for their master’s thesis and possible postgraduate studies is reflected in the emphasis from the beginning on independent essay assignments and in the encouragement of individual projects in the options and seminar courses. Most examinations are held in conjunction with individual courses, or on examination days arranged by the De- partment and announced on the notice-board. Many courses require essays in addition to, or instead of, examinations. Students are expected to observe the deadlines set for completion of essay assignments. Failure to meet a deadline will affect the grading of the assignment concerned, the grade being reduced by one step for each week the assignment is late. Check the Department’s web pages http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/kielet/engf/index.html for possible time and place changes and information on the teacher on charge of the course. General entrance requirement: To follow English philology courses, international exchange students must take part in a language skills test and show they have the necessary language proficiency. In principle, exchange students should have at least the same level of proficiency as those who are selected to study English as a second subject. Note that the number of places for second subject students is restricted, and the level is high.

German Language and Culture

The teaching in practical language skills towards the beginning of studies in German Language and Culture is intended to lay the foundation for scientific work and scientific thinking. As their studies progress, students’ practical language skills will be improved by doing separate exercises. However, studies are more than mere language practice; they include important scientific components on various aspects of German language and culture: linguistic research, the history of the German language and the German-speaking areas, literature in German, Landeskunde, and cultural background. Studies moreover include Dutch language. Depending on their interests and professional objectives, students of German language and culture can take intermediate and advanced studies, so-called specialisation studies, with an emphasis on business communication, foreign language teaching and the research of culture and literature. Not all study modules are offered every year, thus it is advisable to avail oneself of the option to take examinations on set books. Language of instruction: German or Finnish. For more information about the course units, please see: http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/kielet/saksa/index.html. SKILLS TEST All non-native exchange students wishing to study German Language and Culture are required to take and pass a skills test. The test will take place on Wednesday 27 August 2008 at 10 am in Pinni B3107. Please sign up for the exam by 26 August per e-mail to: [email protected]

Russian Language and Culture

Russian Language and Culture is understood as a broad academic discipline spanning Russian language and linguistics and the literatures and cultures of the Russian-speaking people. Studies of Polish and Czech are also included as general studies of Slavonic philology. The staff of the Slavonic Department consists of: one professor, two Finnish lecturers, two native Russian lecturers, one Polish lecturer, and a student adviser. Contact person is Professor Arja Rosenholm. The Slavonic Department’s teaching objective is to produce specialists particularly in the field of Russian language and literature, who through their studies develop a familiarity with the cultures of the Russian-speaking world, in particular with Russian and East-European culture and society. This specialist knowledge is essential to many Finnish students who will go on to become teachers. Studies in Russian language and literature are also important to those who will enter professions in such fields as translation, tourism, journalism, administration, business, the diplomatic service etc. One important function of the Department is also to carry out and promote research in the field of Russian language and literature. Its current strengths in research are in the fields of Russian grammar and lexicology, lexicography, semantics, spoken language, verbal aspect, contact linguistics (Russian-Finnish), Russian women’s literature and Russian autobiographical writing. The Department coordinates the interdisciplinary Russian Studies Programme at the University of Tampere. The main aim of the degree programme is to develop and maintain students’ language skills, in particular in Russian. This is especially the case at the basic level. Polish and Czech may also be chosen as a minor subject at the basic level (25 ECTS).

Department of Translation Studies

The Department of Translation Studies educates experts in intercultural communication, such as translators, interpreters and researchers. Their professional skills are based on an excellent command of their working languages, wide-ranging communicative and research skills and a thorough familiarity with the theory and practice of translation and interpreting. The Department of Translation Studies offers major degree studies in translation and interpreting between Finn- ish and English, German, and Russian; translation between Finnish and Swedish can be studied as a minor subject (60 ECTS). A major subject degree in Translation Studies includes 90 ECTS at the Bachelor’s as well as at the Master’s degree level. The development of the students’ oral and written skills in one or more foreign languages to a level required for professional translating and interpreting is central to the aims of the curriculum. The students’ knowledge of cultures is broadened and deepened so as to enable them to engage successfully in professional intercultural communication. Translators and interpreters must have a perfect command of their mother tongue. For this reason the three major subjects include a 20 ECTS study unit of Finnish tailored to the needs of the Translation Studies students. In general, studying at the Department of Translation Studies presupposes an excellent command of the Finnish language. Minor student selection exams are organised at the beginning of each autumn term. Exchange students can select certain courses which do not require Finnish language skills provided there is room in the particular class. Note, however, that most Department courses are taught in small groups with limited enrollment for which Finnish degree students have priority.

General information The Department of Information Studies is the oldest and largest department of information studies (IS) in Finland. The chair and the department were established within the Faculty of Social Sciences in 1971 as the first academic unit within library and information science in Scandinavia. In 2001, the department became part of the new Fac- ulty of Information Sciences. The department is at present the leading graduate school for IS in Finland and has the most advanced and comprehensive degree programme in IS. About half of the annual graduates in library and information services in Finland graduate from the University of Tampere. The permanent teaching staff numbers 10 at present. The total number of staff varies between 30-35 persons.

Information Studies Information studies as a discipline addresses the information flow between human generators and human users. It seeks to conceptualize and understand the information environments, the information needs of individuals and groups, and the organisation of information resources. The systems of organising information include e.g. libraries, archives, information services, portals and databases. The aspects of information studies particularly emphasized in the curriculum are information retrieval, information seeking and information & records management.

Career prospects Employment prospects in the field are bright. Information studies as a major subject offers an opportunity to work in a variety of tasks in the information field: • In the public sector, graduates of information studies often work in public and university libraries, information service or information management units and archives. Recent graduates typically work as librarians, information specialists or archivists. The job description may include customer service, collection management, and development and marketing of new services such as Web services. • In the private sector, work is available in companies or organisations of different fields. The range of possible tasks is extensive although the emphasis is on traditional and web-based information services, corporate and media archives and information management positions. The growing use of networks, the digitalisation of information and electronic records management open new career prospects. • A career also as a researcher attracts students of information studies. This career choice requires postgraduate studies and the completion of a doctor’s degree. Researchers mainly work at universities and research institutions. The job descriptions of researchers vary from project research to positions involving both teaching and research.

192 Faculty of Information Sciences

As practical work experience accumulates, it is possible to advance to more demanding expert and management tasks. The choice of minor subjects and specialising to a certain field of information studies affect career prospects so students should plan their studies carefully.

Study Instructions When planning their studies, students should take into account the periodic system of teaching (see the teaching schedule) and that some courses require previous completed studies. On some courses (seminar and exercise groups) students must enrol in advance. Enrolment is possible via an electronic form. Attendance is mandatory in those seminars and exercises which do not include a written examination. Most of the courses below can be taken only as set book exams. Please find general information about book examinations at http://www.uta.fi/studies/examinations.html. In the Degree Programme in Information Studies it is possible to take the degree of Bachelor of Science (in Finn- ish only) and the degree of Master of Science (in Finnish only). There are some Bachelor and Master level course units in Information Studies which can be taken in English by inpedendent study as book exams.

Structure of the Bachelor of Science degree programme General studies 13 ECTS Language and communication studies 14 ECTS Basic and intermediate studies in the major subject 70 ECTS (including a Bachelor’s Thesis) Minor subjects and optional studies 83 ECTS In total 180 ECTS

Structure of the Master of Science degree programme Advanced studies in major subject 70-110 ECTS (Master’s Thesis 40 ECTS included) Minor subjects and optional studies 10-50 ECTS In total 120 ECTS

Mathematics All study modules in mathematics are lectured, and the students should reserve sufficiently time for every study module. An essential part of the study modules consists of exercises. The mastery of exercises and other problems is a fundamental ability which can be acquired solely through independent work. Practice and exercises help to illustrate many theories and develop patterns of mathematical thought, which is the ultimate objective of the studies. Students must find the way of studying that is most suitable for them. Students should make sure they understand the points discussed in the lectures and if anything seems particularly difficult, extra effort should be made to resolve the difficulties. The use of literature always contributes to the studies. The exams in study modules can be taken on general examination days (check the bulletin board or the web). Registration for exams must be done no later than seven days before the finals. Other finals than those mentioned on the bulletin board may be taken only by an early agreement. Recommended minor subjects are philosophy, economics, education, computer science, statistics, business administration (e.g. accounting and finance), insurance, physics and chemistry. General note: Courses are lectured in Finnish. However, this fact does not exclude or restrict the possibilities to take the exams in English. Comparable literature is always easily found in English. For further information, please contact the Departmental Adviser. Statistics The University of Tampere offers statistics as a major subject for the Bachelor and Master of Science degree and for the postgraduate degrees of Licentiate and Doctor of Philosophy. Students can select statistics as their major subject in the degree programmes in mathematics and statistics. Studies generally consist of lectures and practical teaching. Study blocks may include practical exercises involving the solution of an empirical statistical problem and reporting of results. There are generally interim and final tests on these study blocks, while other studies can be completed only by doing the practical exercise. In the study of statistics practical application is of particular importance and studies include an entity on applications. Good examples of this are biometrics and epidemiology, national economics, insurance, business economics, sociology, regional science, municipal science and psychology. The application may also be data processing, in which case the student can include a considerable number of courses in data processing in the minimum number of credits required for a degree.

In the study of statistics using the computer and studies in data processing are very important. The rapid pace of development in computer science and programming has had a decisive effect on the increase in the popularity of statistics. Computers are used not only in the analysis of empirical observational data but also as an illustrative tool in studies in theoretical statistics. In many cases solving the problem entails the creation of an individual programme. In the basic studies in statistics undemanding statistical programmes are used which do not require any previous studies in data processing. Intermediate and advanced studies in statistics also include studies in mathematics. Mathematics study modules which are part of the degree programmes in statistics are towards the beginning of the studies. On general questions related to the study of statistics advice is given by the Academic Assistant and Professor in Statistics. Information on teaching and on statistics in general is also available at www.uta.fi/laitokset/mattiet/ tilasto/english.php.

General Information on Statistics and Studying Statistics Statistical methods are applied in all the areas of research, technology and decision making which are based on systematically collected empirical data. Traditional application areas include economic and social sciences, insurance science, biology, psychology and forestry. The rapidly developing field of biometrics has evolved around applications of statistics in medicine and health sciences. For instance the research and applications of scientific computation, pattern recognition, data mining and neural networks are closely connected to computer science. It is possible for a major subject student of statistics to specialise in any of the above mentioned fields. The duties of a statistician include the quantitative description of phenomena under consideration as well as modelling the structure of these phenomena. With the help of a model, it is possible for example to test hypotheses on a phenomenon, make predictions or summarise the knowledge available on the phenomenon. The theory of statistical models is based on probability but in data-analysis, which is an integral part of statistical research, graphics and visualisation based on supercomputing are used to illustrate data and to study the validity of models. One of the preconditions for the development of society is the ability to understand and convey quantitative data. Statistics teaches this quantitative literacy and equips students for analysing masses of data. Almost all university

200 Faculty of Information Sciences level studies include some statistics. More profound knowledge of statistics is needed in many areas of society and research. Further information on issues related to statistics is available in Finnish in the natural sciences portal at http://www.luonnontieteet.fi/.

Job Description of a Statistician The diversity of the applications of statistics and the vast use of statistical methods have guaranteed good employment prospects for graduates of statistics. The decision concerning which field of science to specialise in may prove to be a significant career choice for a statistician. Statisticians work for example in the field of information technology, pharmaceutical industry, public management, research institutes, institutions of higher education as teachers and researchers, insurance companies, banks, industry and in private companies in various fields.

Course Unit Descriptions

The unit responsible for the courses is the Department of Mathematics and Statistics / Statistics unless otherwise stated. A normal course in intermediate or advanced studies includes 4 hours of lectures and 2 hours of exercises per week during approximately two periods. The precise amount of teaching is announced in the teaching schedule and the possible modes of study in the lectures. If more students enrol on a course than can be accepted, students will be selected on the basis of instructions confirmed by the faculty [please consult the Faculty office]. The possibility of taking a book exam when lectures on a course are not arranged can be discussed with the professor of statistics.

Statistics

Bachelor level

Intermediate Studies Objectives: The aim of the study module is to familiarise students with the most important statistical methods and give them the ability to apply them empirically. A further objective is to provide students with basic knowledge of the theory of statistics, especially in probability calculus needed for statistical inference. On this basis, students form a picture of statistical inference, and they will assume it as a central research area in statistics on which statistical methods rest. The courses of intermediate studies also prepare students for completing the advanced studies. Because of this, it is advisable to achieve an overall grade of Good or higher for the intermediate studies.

TILTA25 Clinical Trials and Survival Analysis 6 ECTS Objectives: Clinical Trials part aims (1) to discuss the ethical issues involved and how these affect the statistical methodology and (2) to introduce the specialist methods required. Topics covered include: controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials; protocol, placebo, randomization, blind and double blind trials, ethical issues, protocol deviations; size of clinical trials, interim analyses multi-centre trials, combining trials; Binary responses, logistics modelling. The aim of Survival Analysis part is to provide a flavour of the statistical methodology developed for such problems, especially with regard to the handling of censored data. Topics covered include: survivor function, hazard function, censoring; clinical life tables, Kaplan-Meier survival estimators, parametric models; comparisons of two groups -log rank test; inclusion of covariates, Cox’s proportional hazards model. Content: Content of Clinical Trials: The special ethical and regulatory constraints involved in experimentation on human subjects mean that Clinical Trials have developed their own distinct methodology, although the fundamentals of mainstream statistical theory are recognisable. Content of Survival Analysis: Prediction of survival times or comparisons of survival patterns between different treatments are examples of great importance in medical statistics. Modes of study: Exercise(s).

Computer science as a major subject Computer Science is a field which examines questions pertaining to the use of computers, such as the principles and tools for the presentation and processing of data, programming and information systems and their planning. Professionals in this field must have the capacity for precise thought and logical deduction. The purpose of the programme is to train competent IT professionals, researchers and teachers for universities and colleges.

Interactive technology as a major subject Interactive Technology aims at training all-round IT professionals who have a people-friendly approach to their work. Making the quality of interaction better between man and technology is a core element in the teaching of interactive technology. Due to a multidisciplinary basis, students can utilise their backgrounds and interests and specialise in making software and hardware usability evaluations, or concentrate on developing new and better ways of interaction from a human perspective. Students can find jobs in a wide variety of different fields; they can become product development professionals in the software and telecommunications industry, usability experts in Internet and multimedia companies, and researchers in the field.

What the studies require The studies require students to be able to apply learnt things and methods to new situations. Students must also have a fair share of perseverance. In working life professionals in this field must be able and willing to cooperate. Due to the rapid development of the IT branch, professionals must also be willing and able to acquire new information. Studying computer sciences requires students to be active, they have to complete the assignments given conscientiously, and practice independently and on their own initiative. The methods taught can only be learnt by completing weekly exercises. Even brief neglect of the studies will soon take its toll, and listening to lectures alone will not equip students with the necessary skills and competence.

Structure of studies In the Degree Programme in Computer Sciences it is possible to take the degree of Bachelor of Science (in Finn- ish only) and the degree of Master of Science (all in Finnish, three in English). The Master’s degree is completed in one of the department’s Master’s degree programmes. The major subject in the degrees can be either Computer Science or Interactive Technology. As postgraduate degrees, it is possible to take the degrees of licentiate and doctor, on which more information is available at http://www.uta.fi/tiedekunnat/inf/inenglish.html. Students take first the degree of Bachelor of Science 180 ECTS and after that, the degree of Master of Science 120 ECTS. Studies required for the completion of each degree will be described in more detail below. Regardless of the major subject, all students in a Bachelor of Science degree programme must complete the basic studies of the degree programme and additionally some joint intermediate studies. The joint intermediate studies are part of the major subject of the degree. Certain intermediate studies may be required also from students in a Master of Science degree programme, if their Bachelor Science degree does not give all the necessary prerequisites for the Master of Science studies. The courses in different major subjects will separate in the phase of intermediate and advanced studies. Many courses are still common in a sense that they can belong to either of the major subjects. In the overall grade of the major subject, all courses which can be part of the curriculum of that subject will be included unless the other possible major subject of the degree programme is a minor subject in the degree.

Course units in English There are some Bachelor level course units in Computer Science and Interactive Technology which are taught in English and some which are taught in Finnish, but can be taken in English. Most of the course units taught in Eng- lish at the Department of Computer Sciences are on the Master level. E.g. English speaking exchange students need to have some prerequisites in Computer Sciences. The prerequisites vary from course unit to course unit. Under the title Course Descriptions are only the course units that are usually taught or can be taken in English. The range of course units in English changes yearly and partly depends on the number of international students studying at the Department.

M.Sc. Programme in Interactive Technology with Interactive Technology as the major subject (available both in Finnish and in English) http://www.cs.uta.fi/english/it/ Content: An important theme in Information Technology is the improvement of interaction between the human being and technology. The most important topics for research at the University of Tampere are usability evaluation, new interaction techniques, graphic user interfaces, emotional and social user interfaces, (information acquisition and presentation,) and learning and collaboration technology. Teaching in Interactive Technology in these fields initiates the students into the qualities of human and computation environments. The Master’s programme in User Interface Software Development also provides courses in the interaction between the human being and the computer, and it is possible to concentrate on the implementation of new ways of interaction in particular. Interactive Technology examines the development of interactive-information technical systems that are designed for the use of humans and the phenomena connected with these systems. The subject provides basic knowledge of the whole extensive area, but specialisation and orientation in certain tasks also requires suitable minor subject studies to support the studies in the major subject. Recommended minor subjects include, for example, Computer Science, Psychology, Social Psychology, Sociol- ogy, Education, Statistics, Linguistics, Hypermedia and Information Studies. Goal: The programme aims at training all-round IT professionals who have a people-friendly approach to their work. In the programme students familiarise themselves with the field on the basis of multidisciplinary teaching. The students can choose their area of specialisation from the various possibilities offered. Requirements for lower academic degree If a student does not meet these requirements, the equivalent studies must be taken as complementing studies. 0.1 A lower academic or a corresponding degree in a suitable field Students who have taken a B.Sc. degree at the University of Tampere with Computer Science or Interactive Tech- nology as their major subject automatically have the right to take this programme.

Studies in Hypermedia The Hypermedia Laboratory at the University of Tampere conducts research and offers teaching on the nature of interactive, multilinear and multimodal media, effects, opportunities from the perspective of social and individual practices and experiences. The teaching provides an analytical overview of developing digital media forms as a part of human activity, and equips students with the capability for the design and implementation of interactive media. Hypermedia, as a subject and field of research with the multidisciplinary developmental history, is located on a basis created by the fields of social science, the humanities and design sciences. The social sciences perspective in hypermedia research is represented by the study of the importance of the new forms of media, their nature and function. The humanistic perspective stresses the pivotal nature of artistic and informative structure, mode of presentation and human thinking, action and creative dimensions. The design attribute is connected to the applied research and development work of hypermedia analysis and comprehension.

Objectives and content of teaching Hypermedia is an independent study block planned to support specialisation as a digital media expert. The main themes in teaching provide an opportunity to learn about many different aspects of interactive media dimensions and to specialise in the research of topical issues in hypermedia. Studies in hypermedia can be combined as a mi- nor subject in various combinations of subjects. Combining hypermedia with information sciences, research on arts subjects, computer science, marketing, administrative sciences and education has been popular.

Structure of studies Before beginning Basic studies students must have completed the study module entitled X1, Introduction to Web Publishing or equivalent. Basic Studies consist of course units P1-P5 (total 25 ECTS credits) At the time of Intermediate Studies the compulsory course units are A1 and A5 (total 20 ECTS credits).

Faculty and Medical Education in Brief

Medical Education in Finland In Finland, there are 21 universities, ten of which are multifaculty universities and eleven specialised. They are all engaged in both education and research, and award degrees from basic to postgraduate degrees. Five major universities in the following cities offer the medical degree programmes: Helsinki, Kuopio, Oulu, Tampere, and Turku. The annual intake of new students at the medical faculties totals approximately 600. In 2008, the University of Tampere admitted 105 new degree students. The rapid development in medicine, the changed role of the physician, the expectations of the changing society and reforming social and health services system have over the recent years compelled the medical faculties in Fin- land to take a critical view on their educational system and its application methods. Consequently, the faculties have changed their educational methods and renewed their education to meet the needs of modern society.

Medical Education at the University of Tampere The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tampere was founded in 1972. In the autumn of the same year, the degree programme of Licentiate of Medicine was launched. In 1981, a new Master’s degree programme in Health Care was established and supplemented further with the Health Care Teacher Education programme in 1985. In addition, offering an option of Public Health within the programme further extended Health Care Education. Since 1 January 1995, after its restructuring, the Faculty of Medicine has had two departments: The Medical School, which is responsible for medical education, and the Department of Nursing Science, which is responsible for nursing education in health care. Moreover, two independent institutes were formed: The Tampere School of Public Health and the Institute of Medical Technology (IMT), which are research institutions and also take part in basic and postgraduate medical education. The School of Public Health provides instruction in basic and postgraduate studies in public health, and Institute of Medical Technology offers a degree programme in Biotechnol- ogy with major in Biochemistry and a two-year Master’s Degree Programme in Bioinformatics. Regea Institute for Regenerative Medicine was founded in 2005.

Organisation: Faculty of Medicine Departments Medical School Department of Nursing Science Affiliated Departments Institute of Medical Technology Tampere School of Public Health Regea Institute for Regenerative Medicine The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tampere was the first in Finland to apply theproblem-based learning method in basic medical education. This educational method was originally introduced by the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of McMaster, Hamilton, Canada, in 1969. In Tampere, it was put into practice at the beginning of autumn 1991 in a course called early clinical studies, which was an integrated study block consisting of basic, diagnostic and clinical subjects and continued from the first academic year up to the third. In 1994, the Faculty thoroughly renewed its curriculum, according to which the entire basic degree programme is now based on the problem-based learning method. The curriculum consists of integrated study blocks, which deal with patho- physiological entities. In the course of the renewal process, the assessment of students’ progress in their studies was also thoroughly restructured: their knowledge, skills and attitudes are tested in theoretical examinations and in practical situations. The new learning method shifts the responsibility for learning increasingly to the students themselves. It is meant to facilitate the process of understanding, acquiring and applying knowledge. By exploiting the method, students can obtain the following qualities required of a good physician: • Human approach • Ability to deal with problems • Ability to retrieve information independently • Ability to assess information critically • Ability to assimilate new knowledge • Good clinical skills • Teamwork skills The aim of studies leading to the degree of Licentiate of Medicine is to prepare the students to work as physicians as well as to take postgraduate studies. The degree also provides training for research work and administrative duties requiring medical expertise. In Finland, the full extent of the degree programme of Licentiate of Medicine is 360 credits. One academic year consists of approximately 60 credits. Thus, the degree of Licentiate of Medicine can be taken in six years. The degree of Licentiate of Medicine is a prerequisite for registration as a Medical Doctor (M.D.). The holder of the degree of Licentiate of Medicine who wishes to practice as a physician in the member countries of the Euro- pean Union is required to have completed training in General Medical Practice, which takes two years. After that full licensing is granted by the Finnish Board of Medicolegal Affairs. The medical faculties are responsible for specialist training in Finland. The specialist’s degree requires a minimum of five or six years of specifically defined service, including four years in the relevant speciality and passing a national examination. The minimum requirements for theoretical training during specialisation include 20 course hours in health administration and at least 60 course hours in the relevant speciality. The University of Tampere offers 16 different five-year specialisation programmes and 33 different six-year specialisation programmes. Approximately 850 doctors are participating in these specialisation programmes at the moment. About 70% of all Finnish medical doctors are specialists. About 20% of all medical graduates continue their studies and prepare a dissertation to complete the degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences. Preparing the doctorate equals three to four years of full-time work. In order to obtain the degree, a doctoral candidate must participate in theoretical research training, the extent of which is 30 credits. At the University of Tampere, research training includes set courses within general postgraduate training and specialised training according to the topic chosen. Furthermore, the doctoral candidate conducts research, writes and publishes a doctoral dissertation, and presents it for public examination.

234 Faculty of Medicine and Medical School

Besides the degree programmes in Medicine, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tampere offers degree programmes in health sciences and biotechnology. The major subjects are public health, nursing science and biotechnology. Besides the Bachelor and Master’s degree programmes the students can also pursue postgraduate studies and complete a licentiate degree or a doctorate. Postgraduate students who have a basic degree in Natural or Social Sciences can obtain the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the Faculty of Medicine.

Degree Programme of Licentiate of Medicine The degree programme of Licentiate of Medicine is divided into subject and general studies, advanced studies, practical training period, elective studies and language studies. The clinical period takes place at the University Hospital as well as at local hospitals and health centres in the surrounding communities. The main language of instruction at Medical School is Finnish. However, one of the courses is taught in English and is especially offered for the international students.

Total Extent of the Degree Programme 360 credits = 6 years Subject and general studies 256 credits Advanced studies Thesis 20 credits Integrated studies 40 credits Language studies 5 credits Practical training 24 credits Elective studies 15 credits The first 3.5 years in the curriculum consist of integrated blocks, which comprise theoretical, clinical, behavioural and social studies. The 2–3 last years of the degree programme mainly entail clinical courses where basic sciences in turn are actively integrated. The objective of the advanced studies is to introduce to the student the fundamentals of research, i.e. critical scientific thinking and creation of new knowledge as well as the basics of scientific writing. The extent of the thesis is 20 credits. Their main contents entail carrying out research work either by participating in departmental projects or in research groups. It is also possible for the student to carry out research by agreeing on a specific topic of his/her own interest and the method of completion with the supervisor. In addition, advanced studies include attending seminars, writing a thesis on a topic approved by the supervisor, and taking a maturity test, which is an essay on the student’s thesis topic written in Finnish or Swedish, depending on the student’s native tongue. The maturity test is regarded as an exam on the student’s knowledge of his/her research topic and native language. The thesis and the maturity test are graded pass/fail. An exceptionally high-quality thesis, however, may be awarded with the grade ‘approved with honours’. The extent of the practical training period included in the degree of Licentiate of Medicine is 24 credits. To obtain the credits, the students must work in a health centre, in a hospital, in an institution conducting clinical research, in a theoretical department or equivalent. At least three months must include working in the wards or in the out-

236 Faculty of Medicine and Medical School patients’ department. It can be completed by working in posts of a doctor trainee, a house officer, a general practitioner or as a teaching assistant. Equivalent kind of work in the Nordic or other countries is also accepted. The degree of Licentiate of Medicine includes a language proficiency test in the two official languages of the country, Finnish and Swedish, as well as a foreign-language text comprehension test. If the student has received his/her school education in a language other than Finnish, the requirements will be decided upon by the Faculty. The degree programme also includes at least 15 credits of electives. These may be offered by the students’ own faculty, by other faculties, or by universities at home and abroad. At the Faculty of Medicine, students study according to a detailed schedule, which is planned for every block separately. The main form of studies and the driving force in the learning process is tutorial work. The tutorial group consists of 10 students and a tutor, who is a faculty teacher. The group meets twice a week and deals with a task, either a case study or a phenomenon, concerning basic medical sciences. The students discuss the problem freely trying to determine the extent of their current knowledge and ideas on issues at hand. They themselves determine their learning objectives and the means to reach those objectives. Therefore, attending the tutorials is compulsory. Between tutorials there usually is an interval of two days, when students can study individually in the libraries, utilise databases, and consult expert teachers of various special fields. Consequently, the number of lectures is small; they merely support and consolidate matters already dealt with at the tutorials. On average, there is a one- hour lecture approximately five days a week, the attendance is voluntary but advisable. In addition, students can request extra lectures on a relevant topic. Studies included in a block are elaborated in a block book composed by expert teams of various special fields. It contains the general contents and educational objectives of the block, instructions on learning methods, tasks for independent study, a list of tutors and recommended literature as well as a block schedule. In the Faculty, the term group work refers to instruction given in small groups, such as laboratory and clinical practice, demonstrations, seminars and educational visits, the attendance which is compulsory, and which together with the tutorials strengthens the connection between clinical practice and knowledge of basic sciences. Once the student has attended all the tutorials, done the group work and passed the final block exam, s/he is considered to have completed the entire block. Clinical skills are taught both in real patient contacts and in the Clinical Skills Laboratory. The Clinical Skills Lab- oratory includes various practising facilities, literature and audio-visual equipment. There the students have the opportunity to get acquainted with the equipment used in clinical work. They can also practice clinical procedures step by step starting from phantoms and proceeding to patient work. A great deal of emphasis is laid on the development of communication skills. In addition, the skills in the doctor - patient contact are trained in guided situations. The assessment of learning includes evaluation of acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes and it is based on the criteria of measuring capability. The development of the evaluation system is one of the main priorities in the curriculum. At present, the achieving of learning goals is evaluated at the end of each block with a block exam. The exams are given by an exact point total and a pass/fail grade. The exam can be retaken three weeks from the first attempt. The faculty organises a so-called progress-test three times a year for all students. Its main purpose is to measure the progress of the students regarding their knowledge augmentation in relation to the overall objectives of the degree of Licentiate of Medicine. The test consists of a number of assignments from all disciplines. The questions correspond to the level that the students are required to master at the end of their six-year degree programme. All students perform the test at the same time three times a year. The minimum level of requirements will be defined for students of each course year separately. The Faculty considers assessing the student’s clinical and communicative skills as important as assessing the level of his/her knowledge. Clinical skills are evaluated in the third and fourth study year in an OSCE type test. The student’s performance in each test station is graded on a 0–10 scale. Attitudes and communication skills are evaluated according to a separate programme consisting of simulated and real patient contacts. Personal feedback is given to each student on his/her progress in this area.

The International Postgraduate Programme in Epidemiology (IPPE)

Tampere School of Public Health runs an international postgraduate programme in the field of epidemiology. Head of the programme is professor Suvi Virtanen. The core consists of courses in the fields of biostatistics, epidemiology and related subjects, a weekly research seminar and individual tutoring. The teaching language is English. The theoretical programme ranges from 40-60 ECTS depending on the students basic education. The aim of the programme is a PhD degree in epidemiology. The admission criteria to the doctoral programme is a master’s degree (equivalent to at least four years of study) in a relevant study area, such as medicine, public health or statistics. Priority will be given to students who have a research plan or at least a preliminary idea of a research project that can be used as research material for the doctoral degree in epidemiology. The aim of the programme is that students will complete the theoretical studies and their research plan in Fin- land and possibly start the data analysis, but that a large proportion of research will be conducted in the students’ home countries after the theoretical studies. After completing their studies the students will return to Tampere to complete their doctoral thesis and have the oral examination (defence). The major study areas and topics of the courses in the International Postgraduate Programme in Epidemiology (IPPE) are the various methods of epidemiology and biostatistics (courses: Epidemiologic Methods, Biometry and Statistical Computing, Generalized Linear Models, Logistic Regression, Population-Based Survival Analysis, Lon- gitudinal Data Analysis and Meta Analysis) and the epidemiology and prevention of non-communicable diseases (courses: Screening for Disease, Cancer Epidemiology, Radiation Epidemiology, Cardiovascular Disease Epide- miology, Diabetes and Nutritional Epidemiology, Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Molecular Epidemiology, Oc- cupational Epidemiology and Genetic Epidemiology).

Faculty of Social Sciences in Brief The Faculty of Social Sciences is the oldest of the six faculties at the University of Tampere. Today there are 7 departments in the Faculty: • Department of Journalism and Mass Communication • Department of Political Science and International Relations • Department of Psychology • Department of Social Policy and Social Work • Department of Sociology and Social Psychology • Department of Women’s Studies • Department of Pori The total number of permanent teaching staff in the Faculty is 80 including 36 professors. In December 2007, the total number of students in the faculty was 2912, of which 2461 were studying for Master’s degrees. 352 new students were admitted to the faculty in the summer 2007 election. The Faculty of Social Sciences offers the Bachelor’s degree (B.Soc.Sc.) as the lower academic degree and the Master’s degree (M.Soc.Sc.) as the higher level degree. The Bachelor’s degree, which takes on average three to four years of full-time studying, consists of the following parts: • Studies in the major subject • One (or more) minor subjects • Language studies • General studies (the basic principles of scientific thought and research) The Bachelor of Social Sciences degree consists of 180 ECTS credits (former 120 credit units). The Master’s degree as a higher academic degree includes the studies required for the Bachelor’s degree as well as the advanced studies in the major subject, during which the student concentrates on some central, scientifically relevant problem within the scope of the degree programme. A large part of the advanced studies is taken by the research work for the Master’s thesis. The Master of Social Sciences degree consists of 120 ECTS credits (former 40 credit units). The Master’s degree gives eligibility for postgraduate studies. Postgraduate studies consist of two levels: the Licentiate’s degree and the Doctor’s degree. The Licentiate’s degree is an intermediate step towards a Doctor’s degree in the Finnish higher education system. It consists of the preparation of an extensive scientific thesis as well as other theoretical studies contributing to the research work or professional capacity. The requirements for the Doctor’s degree include the writing of a doctoral dissertation and the public defence. The Faculty of Social Sciences offers five postgraduate degrees:

257 For teaching schedule, see www.uta.fi/studies/teaching/

• Licentiate in Social Sciences (L.Soc.Sc.) • Licentiate of Arts; Psychology (Lic.A.; Psych.) • Doctor of Social Sciences (D.Soc.Sc.) • Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) • Doctor of Philosophy; Psychology (Ph.D.; Psych.) All of the departments in the Faculty participate in the new post-graduate programmes. The programmes have been established since 1994 to facilitate researcher training by offering grants for full time studying for up to 4 years, and by offering an extensive number of lecture courses and research seminars especially meant for doctoral students. In 1990 the Faculty of Social Sciences established the International School of Social Sciences (ISSS) to plan and organize international degree programmes on the Bachelor and Master levels. The ISSS also co-ordinates the international exchange projects within the faculty.

Studying in the Faculty of Social Sciences In the Faculty of Social Sciences the main teaching methods include lectures, seminars and independent work. Lecture course units normally include 2–4 hours of lectures per week (24–48 h in total plus the time spent on independent work). Usually a lecture course is assessed by a written examination at the end of the lecture course. Normally no registration for these is required. There is always an opportunity to retake a lecture course examination during the same term. Independent work Students complete some of the courses by working independently. This typically consists of reading books specified in the reading lists provided by the departments and taking an examination based on the literature (hence these examinations are commonly called book exams or literature exams). These examinations are taken on a general examination day (also called the faculty examination day) which each department normally arranges once every month. Registration deadline for the book examinations is 7–10 days before the examination day. For many courses there are alternative ways of assessment: the students may, for example, choose between taking an examination or writing an essay etc. Seminars are assessed by course work such as essays or presentations in the class.

Grading Scales In the Faculty of Social Sciences the following grading scale is used for assessment: 1 = sufficient 2 = satisfactory 3 = good 4 = very good 5 = excellent For some courses only a pass or a fail grade is given. The following scale is used for the assessment of Master’s thesis, Licentiate’s and Doctor’s dissertations (from the lowest to the highest):

Approbatur Accepted Lubenter approbatur Satisfactory Non sine laude approbatur Fairly Good Cum laude approbatur Good Magna cum laude approbatur Very Good Eximia cum laude approbatur Extremely Good Laudatur Excellent In practise, however, a Laudatur is very uncommon; most grades fall between Lubenter approbatur and Magna cum laude approbatur.

260 Faculty of Social Sciences

International School of Social Sciences

The Faculty of Social Sciences established the International School of Social Sciences in the University of Tampere in February 1990. It was to plan and organise international study programmes on Bachelor and Master levels, and to co-ordinate international exchange projects within the Faculty. The ISSS also co-ordinates the activities of the Tampere Graduate Centre for Social Sciences (TAMCESS). The purpose of the ISSS is to promote international student and teacher exchanges in the Faculty and to create a more international study environment for the students in the University of Tampere. A central aim is to offer foreign students a chance to receive teaching in English and, thus, bypass the extra difficulties created by the necessity of first learning Finnish. In 2006-2007 there were about 200 degree and exchange students in the ISSS. The ISSS has made bilateral co-operative agreements on teacher, student and researcher exchanges with several universities. In addition the ISSS co-ordinates some exchange programmes on behalf of individual departments.

Exchange Students Exchange students (Bilateral agreements, ERASMUS, Nordplus, etc.) may take courses organised in English for the ISSS. They may also attend courses organised by other departments, if participation is not restricted due to the nature of the course or the room available. All visiting students coming to the Faculty of Social Sciences are registered via the International School of Social Sciences.

SPOICNSB Continental Model: Austrian System of Work and Social Security 3 ECTS Objectives: This course focuses on theoretical and empirical analysis of the structure of the Austrian (= Conti- nental) system of work and social security, esp. of important areas of operation and the effects of the policy. The course’s aim is to enable the students to critically reflect and analyse the Continental Model of work and social security in Austria. Focusing on contemporary development in social policy in the tradition of Bismarck, the structural influence on society, on special groups as well as on individuals is discussed concerning different field of social policy and work policy. Students will be equipped with skills necessary for advanced research, to understand the Austrian (=Continental) model of work and social security and to analyse applied social policies: • to identify the Continental model – theory and ideology • to identify the Austrian Corporatism and social partnership • to understand the general structure of Austrian model of work and social security • to critically analyze labour policy in Austria: employment and unemployment • to evaluate the design and supply of social services in Austria • to critically appreciate a range of key topics of national social policy issues: health, disability and need of (long time) care, migration and integration, family, housing, poverty, social exclusion and so on. •to understand the impact of Europeanization and Globalization on the national system of work and social security. Content: The Austrian model follows the continental tradition. First of all, the students develop a common understanding of the concept of the Continental model, the Austrian Corporatism and the social partnership, as well as the contemporary debate. For this reason, the introduction focuses on ideology and theory of the Continental model. Secondly, the general structure, body and recent developments of the Austrian model of work and social security will be examined, thus changes in the system that occur on individual and social level is emerging. The organization and structure of employment and social security are main issues for the critical social policy analyses and discussion. Thirdly, students evaluate the design and supply of social security and services in Austria. For this reason, various fields of applied social policy will be analysed and discussed by students. Key issues for students’ research are 1. System of work: employment and unemployment 2. Health, disability, need of (long time) care and age 3. Migration and integration 4. Family and education 5. Housing and social services 6. Social exclusion and poverty. Students critically challenge the design and supply of social services. Finally, the focus shifts to the European Union. European Union policy has an effect on the national social policy, thus system of work and system of social security. The Commission set certain targets, which the member states have to achieve. In addition, how does the discussion of the European Social Model influence the Continental model and vice versa? Modes of study: Participation in classroom work + essay + written exam.

295 For teaching schedule, see www.uta.fi/studies/teaching/

• Concept of gender • Welfare State and Gender • Employment and Gender • Family and Gender • EU-policies and gender mainstreaming Content: The concept of gender is in transition. The course focuses on recent developments in Social Policy and the changes that occur on individual and social level. First of all, the students develop a common understanding of the concept of gender and the contemporary debate. Secondly, early feminist critique is discussed regarding the patriarchal state and social policy. Earlier research saw states either contributing to the social reproduction of gender inequality or diminishing gender hierarchy. Contemporary research focuses on the diverse influence of social policy on gender issues. Thirdly, the organization and structure of employment and care work are main issues for gendered social political analyses. Different theories are discussed explaining variations between and within women and men. Finally, the focus shifts to the European Union. European Union policy has an effect on the national policy on gender equality and vice versa. The Commission develops certain targets, which the member states have to achieve. In addition, gender mainstreaming as a tool to obtain equality is scrutinized regarding its implementation as transformative, sameness or difference model in European and national policies. Modes of study: Participation in classroom work + essay + written exam. Evaluation: 1-5.

SPOICM4 Comparative Data Sources 4 ECTS Objectives: This course deals with comparative data sources, especially international surveys. Students will gain understanding on searching and using international comparative research data. The students will learn how to make best use of online systems like CESSDA data portal, ESS, ICPSR and Eurostat. The main focus on this course will be secondary analysis of data, ie. using data form an archive of previously collected surveys or other data. Using archived data is especially attaractive to stundents, since it is very cost- effective. Beyond costs, there are also other excellent reasons to do research using previously collected data. For example, by replicating the work of another researcher, one can test the validity of the previous analyses. Ar- chived data can also be used to test research hypotheses about people’s attitudes and behaviors, or to gain understanding on how different survey methodologies change the kind and quality of data collected. Furthermore, archived data gives new possibilities to study changes in attitudes and behavior over time, or cross-nationally. Students will be provided guidance on finding and exploring social science data and documentation. Students will gain technical and data analytic skills like searching and interpreting the codebooks and study documentation. They will learn to recognize the crucial details that help them decide whether or not a particular data collection will be useful in their research. The topics covered include research design issues like question development and translation, sampling and collection, and various kinds of harmonization. • The course will be covering the use of international survey (micro) and aggregate (macro) data sources. The course will include a hands-on workshop and involve using recently developed online materials.

299 For teaching schedule, see www.uta.fi/studies/teaching/

• Something about reusing qualitative data • Research ethics Content: First of all, the students develop an understanding of the concept of secondary analysis. Secondly, students will learn to evaluate data and documentation in order to find the data that is suitable for their research. Thirdly, students will learn how to get access to data. For example, some international datasets, such as cross- national surveys that can be used for comparative research, can be ordered/accessed via national data archives or online. These include practical guidance and exercises on the European Social Survey (ESS), European Work and Living Conditions data (EWC) and the Labour Force Survey -microdata (LFS).Finally, students will learn about the pros and cons of secondary analysis and via exercises, characteristics of cross-sectional and comparative analysis.

Tel. +358-3-3551 7045 Fax +358-3-3551 6248 e-mail [email protected] http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/tiedotus/ The roots of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication go back to 1925 when an undergraduate course in journalism was introduced as one of the first programmes offered by the Civic College. A professorship in “newspaper studies” was established in 1947, the first of its kind in Scandinavia. The Department aims to provide all students majoring in Journalism and Mass Communication with the basic knowledge and professional skills – in theory and practice – in print, electronic and new media. As a part of the facilities for practical training the Department has run a non-commercial local radio station since autumn 1989. The students also practise during their training in newspapers, magazines, in the Finnish Broadcasting Company and in private radio stations. The master’s degree course of Electronic Photojournalism has been organised together with University of Network for Communication Sciences. The main research areas have traditionally been communication theory, journalism, and international communication. In recent years the scope of research has widened towards cultural studies, visual culture and new and electronic media. Some of the recent projects have dealt with topics such as normative theories and ethics of the media, and journalism in time of war and crisis. Research has also been conducted in the fields of mass media and the environmental issues, the concentration of the Finnish press, the development of Finnish television programmes, mass communication in the Soviet Union / Russia, digital television, public journalism and media and gender issues. The Department is active in the international programmes of the Faculty. Journalism and Mass Communica- tion is also offered as a minor subject in the Bachelor’s programme of the International School of Social Sciences (ISSS). The Department cooperates with several other schools and enterprises. Partners include the Tampere School of Art and Communication, the University of Art and Design (Helsinki) and the Finnish Broadcasting Company. There is extensive co-operation with universities abroad, notably Estonia (Tartu), Russia (Moscow, Petrozavodsk), Sweden (Stockholm, Gothenburg), The Netherlands (Amsterdam), United Kingdom (Westminster, Stirling) and the United States (Illinois, Texas, California).The Department also hosts a national branch of the Nordic Documenta- tion and Information Service Network NORDICOM. In 2006, there were 544 undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Journalism and Mass Communication, and 74 postgraduates for the doctoral degree in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Both chairs were established in the 1940s. In addition, the Jean Monnet Chair on Eu- ropean Integration and Regional Co-operation was created for the Department in 1995, and in 1999 it was given the status of the Jean Monnet European Centre of Excellence. The Department has 12 full-time teachers of whom 6 are professors, and the total number of staff is about 30. The Department offers the following degree programmes: • Bachelor of Social Sciences, with Political Science or International Relations as the major subject alternatives • Master of Social Sciences with the same major subject alternatives • Doctor of Social Sciences Studies in Political Science cover political participation, parties, pressure groups and new social movements, the role of civil society in politics, political institutions and political systems, comparative politics, political decision- making and problems of governance, political ideas and ideologies as well as political theory, policy analysis and policies on different policy areas, such as welfare policy, energy policy, and environmental policy. Studies in International Relations cover foreign policy and diplomacy, security and integration policies, European studies, world politics, international organisations and different research orientations and intellectual history of International Relations. World Politics, European Studies, and Peace and Conflict Studies are offered as areas of specialisation. The Master’s level studies deal with contending theoretical approaches, methodological orientations and the writing of research papers. The Department offers also courses on European integration and regional cooperation with North-Western Russia. Postgraduate studies in Political Science and International Relations consist of in-depth studies in the theories and methodologies of the Social Sciences, extensive readings in some established research area and the individual research project. The Department participates in a doctoral programme that is organised as a graduate school (POLITU). Research activities in Political Science include empirical research (studies on political participation, political decision-making, political institutions and policy analysis), historical research (the history of political ideas and ideologies, European and Finnish political history) and conceptual, methodological and theoretical studies. Research activities in International Relations touch on some traditional areas of interest such as Finnish foreign policy, neutrality and other foreign policy issues, and European integration. In global issues, research is done on modern technology, professional institutions in development interventions, and modes of cultural interpretation in international relations. In Asian studies research has concentrated both on politico-cultural studies dealing with South and South-East Asia in general, as well as on a broader study project which examines the regionalisation and globalisation of the South-East Asian political system. In Peace and Conflict Studies, the Scandinavian tradition of

304 Faculty of Social Sciences peace research has formed the theoretical basis for the studies since the 1960s, but recently international conflict analysis and environmental studies have become objects of increasing interest. The Department has developed many international exchanges and contacts, some of which by participating in the activities of the International School of Social Sciences, which is the international unit in the Faculty of Social Sciences offering courses and degree programmes taught in English. Bilateral student exchange schemes have been created with other European departments and institutes of Political Science and International Relations by participating in the Erasmus exchange programme, and also through the ISSS with universities outside Europe. The De- partment also has links with two Canadian universities. Furthermore, the Department participates in the Nordplus network for departments of Political Science, which involves 12 partner universities in the other four Nordic countries. Student exchange placements in these networks number altogether over 60 each academic year. Both International Relations and Political Science are well represented in the programmes of the International School of Social Sciences. International Relations and Political Science are offered in English up to the Bachelor level, and can be studied as a major subject in the various Master’s programmes coordinated by the ISSS. Admis- sion of new students to these programmes takes place usually every two years. In recent years, the ISSS has coordinated Master’s programmes in European Policies, Regional Co-operation and Transformation in North-West Russia (major subject: International Relations), European Studies and World Politics (IR as the major subject), Informa- tion Society and Russia (IR one major subject alternative), and Places, Spaces and Transnational Relations (IR as a major subject) as well as Bachelor’s programmes in European Studies (IR and Political Science as two of the major subject alternatives) and in Europe in the World. In the academic year 2007–2008 there were another three Master´s programmes available: Political Communication with International Relations as a major subject, European Stud- ies: Europeanization of Politics and Governance with Political Science and International Relations as major subject choices, and European and Russian Studies with International Relations as one of the major subject alternatives. The Department is a corporate member of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) and the In- ternational Political Science Association (IPSA).

Exchange and Visiting Students Exchange students (Erasmus, Nordplus and bilateral exchanges) as well as other visiting students in the Department may take courses organised in English by the Department of Political Science and International Relations and the ISSS, if participation is not restricted due to the nature of the course or the room available.

Tel. +358-3-3551 6579 Fax +358-3-3551 7345 e-mail [email protected] http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/psyk/index.htm Studies in Psychology aim at providing all students with specific professional skills and with a general ability to work in positions requiring scientific psychological knowledge. The curriculum covers five main sectors: 1) educational, developmental and personality psychology, 2), psychology of health and psychic health, 3) cognitive and neuropsychology, 4) psychology of work and organizations, and 5) psychological research. Applied psychology has traditionally been strongly represented in the Department, including therapeutic communities, developmental, and environmental psychology. More recent areas include social cognition and its brain mechanisms. This research relates to perception of human faces and voices and processing of emotional information. Much of this research will take place in the human Information Processing Laboratory. Other recent areas include, i.e., psychology of traumatic experiences and psychology of work and organizations. PSYKE unit is responsible for the development of psychological services within the Department. The department organizes teaching with other Finnish universities (Psykonet) at under- and postgraduate levels and arranges specialised professional education for psychologists, leading to the postgraduate degree, Licenti- ate of Psychology. The Licentiate’s degree can be taken with an emphasis either on the professional or on the academic psychology. In December 2006, there were 196 undergraduate and graduate students and 73 postgraduates in the Depart- ment of Psychology.

Degree Programmes In the Department of Psychology, the following degree programmes are offered: Bachelor of Psychology, Master of Psychology, Licentiate in Psychology, and Doctor of Psychology. The language of instruction in these programmes is Finnish. However, it is also possible to study psychology independently in English, for example, as a minor subject in the Bachelor of Social Sciences programme. This is done by following the module below, which consists of independent work in the form of literature examinations and essay writing.

Departmental Adviser: Ms. Paula Ristimäki, Room 6066 / Tel. +358-3-3551 7180 Fax +358-3-3551 7484 e-mail [email protected] http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/psyk/index.htm The University of Tampere offers academic programmes in both Social Policy and Social Work leading to Bach- elor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees. The Department of Social Policy and Social Work consists of 28 teachers, including 9 professors. Social Policy is a social science and a discipline which explores the welfare of individuals and communities, the level of that welfare, its production and distribution. Its special themes are social problems and social risks threat- ening the preconditions for a good life at the level of the individual, the community, the nation and the entire world. Such issues include social rights, fairness, power, equality, inequality, exclusion and deprivation. The object of interest is further how changes and political ideologies and structures affect social policy. Other crucial issues concern sustainable development such as the relation of the human being to the living environment and to nature. Social policy is also practical activity to solve social problems. In the teaching and research of social policy an important part is played by the evaluation of how the systems of social policy can guarantee citizens welfare in an internationalizing and globalizing world in which the social problems are becoming ever more complex. Social work firstly reviews people’s many living conditions problems, the processes which cause these and questions pertaining to social inequality at both individual and the social level. Secondly, the practices and procedures of social work are analysed, as is the functioning of the various services and means of providing help. Moreover, professional modes of operation for overcoming problems and inequality are completed and developed. In the dis- section of these different sub-areas tolls for social sciences research are used and formed and use is made of a set of multiprofessional concepts. Social Work owes its status as a separate academic discipline to its special relationship with practice: Practice is a principal research object of social work and the discipline is in constant dialogue with professionals in the field and various client groups. The Department has taken part in many international research projects. In addition, the Department is actively co-operating with the International School of Social Sciences. The structure of the Department will be changed on 1 January 2009.

The Language Centre is an independent institute under the central administration of the University. Its students include students from all faculties of the University, and its mission is to arrange the language teaching required as part of the various degree programmes or as otherwise required, in the two official domestic languages (Finnish and Swedish) and in foreign languages, including some knowledge of the countries in which these different languages are spoken. The Language Centre offers established expertise in language for specific purposes to the entire Uni- versity community. Teachers continually develop teaching materials themselves and endeavour to implement the most versatile and up-to-date teaching methods. Twelve languages are currently offered at the Language Centre: Arabic, English, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, French, Swedish, German, Portuguese, Finnish and Russian. Teaching is either geared to the compulsory language studies in the various degree programmes or is then optional and geared to a variety of specific purposes. The teaching, which is in the hands of Finnish and foreign teachers, is intended to benefit students in their studies, in working life, in the internationalisation process and in gaining a profound understanding of cultures. The teaching programmes range from beginners’ courses to advanced courses of different types. For foreign students at the University of Tampere there are study blocks from which students choose courses on the basis of their needs and interests: • Finnish as a Foreign Language (26 ECTS credits) • Intercultural Communication Studies (25 ECTS credits) Students also have the option of independent study in the self-access centre (Room C 113), where the languages available include Arabic, Bulgarian, English, Finnish, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Norwegian, Por- tuguese, Polish, French, Swedish, German, Danish, Hungarian, Estonian and Russian. Books, cassettes and texts are available in term-time. There is also a reasonably priced translation service which students may use. Students from Tampere University of Technology can also take part in the programmes, but they must apply for approval from their own departments first. Further information on course content, objectives, extent, materials, programmes and the consultation times of teachers is available on: http//www.uta.fi/laitokset/kielikeskus

Intercultural Communication Studies

Program Overview

General Information The Intercultural Communication Studies program is an international, intercultural, interdisciplinary, and multilingual program offered by the Language Centre in collaboration with other departments of the University of Tam- pere. It is designed to complement language and communication skills courses, and thereby increase intercultural communication competence. The program is open to students of all faculties, and it has also been approved as a minor subject by some faculties. The courses are taught mainly in English to encourage the participation of international students and promote interaction between them and Finnish students. The Intercultural Communication Studies program consists of basic compulsory courses on intercultural communication theory and practice, followed by a choice of courses on various cultures, skills and practical applications. Some of the culture specific courses are taught in the language of the culture concerned. There is also a small language component to encourage students to become familiar with a less commonly taught language.

The program operates: 1) as an independent program which can be taken as a minor subject if the faculty approves 2) as an option from which separate components can be chosen

Target groups: Finnish students, international students, and university personnel of both the University of Tampere and Tampere University of Technology.

Language of instruction: English is the most commonly used language, but in the appropriate parts, other languages have their place. Students are encouraged to create a multilingual package from courses in different languages.

Extent of the program: 25 ECTS credits

Program Coordinator: Nancy Aalto, phone 3551 6380, email: [email protected]. Any questions concerning the Intercultural Communication Studies program can be directed to Nancy Aalto: office hour Wednesdays 14.15-15.00 and by appointment.

Examiner: Ewald Reuter, phone: 3551 6147, email: [email protected]

Registering for Courses The number of places in the courses is limited. Attendance and class participation are also considered essential for completion of most of the courses. For some courses it is preferable that the Foundations courses be taken first. Registration takes place by computer for most of the courses, see the Language Centre website: http://www.uta.fi/ laitokset/kielikeskus/english/teaching.html. Registration takes place by computer at www.uta.fi/studies/nettiopsu (requires a user account). No registration by telephone or by e-mail. Furthermore, please note that in addition to registering, you must be present in class in the first meeting of the course, otherwise your registration will lapse and you may lose your place. No exceptions will be made. Final registration lists will be posted on the internet and on the Intercultural Communication Studies noticeboard in the Language Centre. Due to the nature of the subject and the methodology used, the courses need to have a mixture of Finnish and international students. Therefore, when there are more students than the group can take, a final class list will be made based on the following factors:

341 For teaching schedule, see www.uta.fi/studies/teaching/

• Completion of Foundations and other ICS courses – students who have declared that they are taking the whole ICS program will be given priority • Number of overall credits achieved towards degree - degree students who have earned the most credits toward their degree will be given priority • International exchange students who are in Finland for only one academic year or less will be admitted according to the order of registration which the computer records. The final list will be posted before the first class meeting. There will also be a waiting list in case someone on the final list cannot participate after all. Students on the waiting list should attend the first class or check with the teacher during the first 2 weeks of the term to see if any places have become available. Students on the final list should notify the teacher or the Program Coordinator if they cannot come to the first class but plan to attend the course, or if they cannot attend the course at all. For the language courses in sections 3 and 4 of the program, see the Language Centre Study Guide, the Sched- ule of Courses or the teachers of the courses for information on how to sign-up. Only special courses will be listed on the ICS noticeboard. Students not taking the whole ICS program can take individual courses if there are places available. Students from Tampere University of Technology can take part in the ICS program under the JOO agreement. The first course, Introduction to Intercultural Communication is also offered at Hervanta in cooperation with the TUT Language Centre. Students can take other courses to complete the ICS program at the University of Tampere, but they have to first apply to their own university, see joopas.fi. The application is also in English.

Course Materials In some courses there will be a materials fee for course materials which will be distributed by the teachers. Some material may also be available to course participants on a very limited short-term loan through the Language Cen- tre’s Self-Access Centre.

Intercultural Communication Studies Noticeboard The ICS noticeboard is located in the E-wing opposite room E 332.

Objectives of the Program 1. To provide the student with theoretical perspectives that help to explain interactions between members of different cultures and subcultures. 2. To explore principles and techniques that can be used to improve intercultural communication and overcome associated problems. 3. To provide students with opportunities to enhance their intercultural communication experience. 4. To acquaint the student with current literature and prevailing concepts in the field of intercultural communication.

ECTS In the ICS program, 1 credit is worth 27 hours of work for a student, including class time, reading and assignments. The number of hours of class time may differ from course to course; however, it is generally 12 hours per credit. Language courses may contain more class hours.

342 The Language Centre

Components of the Program

1. Foundations of Intercultural Communication - Theory and Practice The courses in this section aim to provide basic theories on culture, communication and intercultural interactions. These theories will then be applied through exercises designed to increase students’ awareness of themselves as cultural beings and of the influence of culture on communication. The courses in this section are compulsory for completion of the whole 25 ECTS credit program, and preferably they should be taken first. They may also be prerequisites for some of the other courses

2. Dimensions and Applications of Intercultural Communication The courses in this section deal with various aspects of culture and communication within specified contexts. The aim is to increase students’ understanding of these aspects, and their ability to apply the knowledge they have gained.

3. Cultures, Skills and Practice This section deals with specific cultures such as national, linguistic, ethnic or professional groups. There are also courses which aim to develop specific skills, and opportunities to practice intercultural communication skills.

4. Language Component Language study is also included in the program to encourage students to try a language which is not compulsory for their degree. Students can take courses on any level in any language other than English (Finns cannot use Finn- ish or Swedish language courses either) to fulfil this requirement. However, the same course cannot be used to for degree requirements or those of another program. Some introductory courses in languages not regularly taught in the Language Centre may also be arranged as part of this program.

Contents of the Program This is the full program, for courses offered this year see the teaching schedule.

1. Foundations of Intercultural Communication - Theory & Practice Both of the courses in this section are compulsory, and 101 should be completed before or concurrently with 102. Since the Foundations courses provide important basic information, and may also be prerequisites for taking some other courses in the program, they should be taken first. 101 Introduction to Intercultural Communication 5 ECTS credits 102 Increasing Intercultural Competence 5 ECTS credits

2. Dimensions and Applications of Intercultural Communication Choose a minimum of 4 ECTS credits from the following: 201 Aspects of Multiculturalism 3 ECTS credits 202 Cultural Marginality 3 ECTS credits 203 Investigating Aspects of Culture 3 ECTS credits 204 Visual Art - Perception - Identity 2 ECTS credits 205 Language, Communication and Culture 1 ECTS credit 206 Extra Project/Alternative Course 1-3 ECTS credits Choose a minimum of 3 ECTS credits from the following: 301 Gespräche über finnisch-deutsche Kulturunterschiede 2 ECTS credits 302 Cultura española 3 ECTS credits

Language Component Choose 3-6 ECTS credits Courses on any level in the following languages may be used for this section: Finnish as a Foreign Language Arabic Chinese French German Italian Japanese Portuguese Russian Spanish Introduction to… Language and Culture In regard to the last course in the list above, introductory courses on languages and cultures not usually taught in the Language Centre may also be arranged as part of this program. Courses which fulfill degree requirements or those of another program may not be applied to this section. It is possible that some languages may not be offered every term. Not all of the courses listed above will be given during one academic year. Check the fall and spring schedules to see which courses will be offered. Most courses require a minimum number of participants; therefore, cancella- tions may occur during the first 2-3 weeks. New courses may also be added. See the ICS noticeboard and the Lan- guage Center website for the most up-to-date information.

Flexible Credits in Sections 2-4 The total number of required ECTS credits (op) to complete the ICS program is 25. Due to the fact that the courses offered may vary from year to year, the required number of credits for sections 2-4 has been made flexible. Thus, in addition to the minimum number of credits required for each section, 5 additional credits can be chosen from, and preferably spread out between, sections 2-4. In some cases, students may choose to receive more or less credits for a specific course, depending on the requirements set by the teacher. In other words, in some cases students may have a choice of receiving fewer credits for a course for doing less work, for example, being exempt from an assignment. Choosing fewer credits may mean taking a grade of “Pass” instead of a number grade. Summary of Credits by Section for the Complete Program Section 1. 10 ECTS credits compulsory Section 2. 4 ECTS credits minimum Section 3 3 ECTS credits minimum Section 4 3 ECTS credits minimum Subtotal 20 ECTS credits according to section requirements Electives 5 ECTS credits student’s own choice from sections 2-4 Total 25 ECTS credits total necessary for complete program The requirement for the completion of the ICS program is 25 ECTS credits. It is possible to take more than 25 ECTS credits; however, when the final grade is calculated, only 25 ECTS credits can be included in the total. The rest of the credits will be counted as General Studies. Once the final grade is calculated it cannot be changed.

344 The Language Centre

Grading Grades will be given for most courses. In some cases, only a grade of “Pass” or “Hyväksytty” will be granted upon completion of the course requirements. The grading scale is as follows:

5 = Excellent 4 = Very Good 3 = Good 2 = Satisfactory 1 = Sufficient The final grade for the whole program will be indicated in the register as either ET - “Erittäin hyvät tiedot” or Ex- cellent, HT - “Hyvät tiedot” or Good, or TT -“Tyydyttävät tiedot” or Satisfactory.

Completing the Whole Program If you are planning to take the whole 25 ECTS credit program, you are advised to go over your selection of courses with the Program Coordinator in good time. Courses taken in other departments of the university must be approved by the Examiner before they can be applied to the ICS program. This process may take time. The total number of ECTS credits must be exactly 25. It is possible to take more than 25 ECTS credits, but you must then decide which courses you want to include in the final grade. The remaining courses will go under General Studies. When you think you have completed all of the requirements, you should inform the Program Coordinator so the register can be checked and the final grade calculated.

Ziele und Inhalt: Ziel des Seminars ist die Beobachtung von Personen, die Gespräche über fi nnischdeutsche Kulturunterschiede führen. Content: Examples from everyday life, jobs, politics, art, literature, film,education and science will show how these people compare the two cultures. Firstly, the analysis will show how and why they characterize something as typically Finnish or typically German. Secondly, it can be observed whether some particular interests or contexts occur in the discussion about cultural differences. Finally, the examples of the analysis will show why “cultural differences” has become a theme of great current interest in many countries. Ziele und Inhalt: Ziel des Seminars ist die Beobachtung von Personen, die Gespräche über fi nnischdeutsche Kulturunterschiede führen. An Beispielen aus Alltag, Beruf, Politik, Kunst, Literatur, Film,Erziehung und Wis- senschaft wird gezeigt, wie diese Personen Schritt für Schritt vorgehen, wenn sie die “fi nnische” Kultur mit der “deutschen” Kultur vergleichen. Erstens zeigt die Analyse, auf welche Mittel diese Personen zurückgreifen, wenn sie etwas als “typisch fi nnisch” oder als “typisch deutsch” charakterisieren. Zweitens zeigt die Analyse, inwiefern Gespräche über Kulturunterschiede bestimmte Interessen artikulieren und an bestimmte Kontexte gebunden sind.
