Independent study options


Please note that these study options do not include any lectures or seminars!

Independent study means studying literature and taking a book exam or writing an essay about it. The independent study options offered for exchange students at JSBE are usually courses which are lectured only in Finnish. Therefore, we have arranged a possibility of completing the modules in English by independent study.

Please note that you should not choose too many independent study options, especially if you are not used to studying in English.
