Responsible teaching and learning

Reformed Competence

We will continue to reform the university in accordance with the principles of continuous learning in cooperation with the society, organizations, and the students. The competence acquired at Metropolia will provide our students the capacity to act as a specialist and developer in working life. We also account for diverse competence, diverse learning methods and environments, and the adjustments required in our teaching. Flexible learning solutions are used to enable learning at work and in various projects.

Pedagogical Principles and Degree Regulations

In our teaching, we will comply with Metropolia's pedagogical principles that ensure a uniform understanding of high-quality teaching and learning. The four main themes of pedagogical principles are learner-centredness, phenomenon-orientation, diversity, and openness. Our degree regulations consist of internal provisions and instructions for the practical realization of studies that concern, among other things, the selection of students, registration, and completion of studies.

High-quality Teaching and Learning

The implementation of pedagogical principles and the quality of teaching are developed in accordance with the continuous development model (Plan, Do, Check, Act). The inclusion of students and interest groups in pedagogic development, for example through various feedback procedures and an interactive culture of feedback, is an important element of the development of education quality. Fraudulent conduct in the context of any study-related matter, exam, or assignment is prohibited.

Open Learning

We comply with the national policy on transparency in learning, which means that we aim to expand access to education and inclusion for everyone by lowering thresholds and further improving availability, accessibility, supply, and the implementation of learner-orientation. We invest in open and effective cooperation, utilize transparent information, and develop infrastructure that promotes transparency. We uphold legislative and ethical principles and promote an open operating culture. We aim to continuously increase the availability of open learning materials, such as materials published under Creative Commons licenses.
