Frequently asked questions about studies

How do I get credits for practical training?
In the Bachelor’s Programme in Science and Technology, 1–10 credits of practical training can be included in the degree. Training accepted into the degree must be related to the studies of the programme and it must have been completed after being admitted as a student. The aim of practical training is to develop and deepen the knowledge and skills gained in the studies and to familiarise the trainee with the working environment. More information about practical training can be found on the MyCourses pages of practical training, through which you can also submit the training reports for both domestic training (SCI.harj) and international training (SCI.khar). As a rule, work assignments carried out at the university, positions of trust and a student’s own projects are not credited as practical training.
How do I get the dean’s incentive scholarship?
You can find the instructions for receiving the incentive scholarship here .
I want to transfer credits, what do I do?
You can find information about the credit transfer of higher education studies completed elsewhere into your degree in the Student Guide . Credit transfer can mean substituting courses that belong to your degree or including suitable studies as part of the degree.
