The description of the level of the Degree is included in the Statute, at
http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/2017/20170120
Eligibility for studies at a university of applied sciences is stipulated in the Universities of Applied Sciences Act 932/2014.
The selection criteria are specified in the data of the Degree Programme at www.opintopolku.fi and www.seamk.fi/haku
On the websites, application and instructions are in Finnish language for the degree programmes taught in Finnish.
The RPL procedure means the identification and recognition of the student’s previously acquired learning. The student has the opportunity to apply for the recognition of their competencies if the competencies correspond to the learning goals of the Degree Programme. The identification process is closely connected with the preparation of the student’s personal curriculum and is updated during personal counselling discussions.
The identification and recognition practices are presented in the RPL Instruction of SeAMK. It specifies how recognition of competencies is applied for, how the application is processed, and how the student is informed of it. The instruction lists the RPL contact persons of each Degree Programme, who counsel students on matters related to the process.
In the assessment of prior learning, for example the following evidence is used:
– certificates on training programmes with similar content and other training programmes
– testimonials and further clarifications by an employer
– interviews of the student
– written and oral exams or reports
– functional or written assignments or other evidence
– presentations, portfolios
The final project/thesis and the Maturity Test cannot be submitted to the RPL procedure.
The students’ ability to describe their competence in relation to the course learning outcomes is an essential aspect of the recognition and accreditation of prior learning. Please notice that as regard the accreditation of theoretical studies, students must demonstrate their command of the theoretical contents. Practical work experience alone is usually not an adequate basis.
Please see the Degree Regulations of Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences.
The Degree Programme in Health Care and Social Services / Elderly Care is based on the socioconstructivist theory of learning. The theory emphasises the subjectivity of the learners, who actively construct a body of knowledge, assess their learning needs and direct their action accordingly. The teacher acts as a facilitator, helping students become aware and take steps towards expertise and understanding. Other pedagogical principles in the Degree Programme include the integration of theory and practice, progressive enquiry and development, cooperative learning and professional growth. Students are encouraged to develop reflection, or skill and willingness to examine the motives and effects of their actions using different perspectives. They develop their understanding and competence in a group. The group constitutes a learning environment, in which students learn interaction skills, giving and receiving feedback and ethical scrutiny of things using multiple perspectives.
The learning contents and pedagogy are based on a practice-oriented approach and progressive enquiry. The courses aim at developing competence required in practice and in the development of practice. The integration of social and health fields is an essential attribute of the Degree Programme. This means that students are encouraged to collaborate with practice to experiment with innovative action models. The theoretical contents of the courses are applied to practical situations in multiple ways, for example though working life projects, practical assignments and development tasks, information seeking using sources available in elderly care practice, guided practical training and participation in research, development and service provision. The learning contents are examined from multiple perspectives using both evidence-based and experiential knowledge. The development of the professional field is emphasised from the very beginning of the studies.
The learning environment is being developed in order to offer students an extensive range of courses and flexible progress while taking students’ prior education and work experience into consideration. Study methods involve lectures; study circles; worklife projects; group assignments; demonstrations and simulations; online learning and independent studies, among others.
In the Degree Programme for geronomi (AMK) the focus is on ensuring that students become prepared and committed to the promotion of a good life for older people on the level of the individual, communities, organizations and also on the level of society. Their work with individual clients and groups involves prevention, support, care, rehabilitation and promotion of the old person’s participation in various settings of elderly care and services. Important areas in the degree programme are the assessment of aged clients' well-being, functional capacity and need for support and the well-planned use of various gerontological care and nursing interventions and social work methods to promote the client’s well-being and function. The degree programme also emphasises skills required in the organization of individualized services, such as the assessment of service needs; case management; organisation of service pathways and multi-professional services for elderly clients, and supporting the clients’ families. On the level of service organisations, the focus is on the supervision of the service provision, first-level management and on the development of human resources and services. On the level of society, the emphasis is on the evaluation and development of the service provision systems and on influencing decision-making and elderly policies in society.
The purpose of the Degree Programme in Elderly Care is to produce experts who will primarily work in various sectors and levels of social welfare and health care, in enterprises and in the third sector. The areas of expertise and duties of Bachelors of Social Services and Health Care are as follows:
- Personal case management for elderly persons: assessment of elderly clients' well-being, ability to function and needs for services; customisation of the services to suit specific needs and co-ordination of multi-professional activities
- Planning, supervision and development of family care-giving and other informal care services for older people as well as peer support activities
- Client work in care and service organisations for the elderly
- A variety of tasks in dementia work on various levels and the development of dementia work
- Planning, supervision, evaluation and development of services for the elderly in the public and third sectors
-Work in various undertakings and development projects in elderly care
There are a number of job titles for Bachelors of Elderly Care (UAS) in the field of social welfare and health care. Among them are case manager, client advisor, counsellor/supervisor, head counsellor/supervisor, social welfare counsellor/supervisor, development manager, project worker, project manager and elderly care manager. The Finnish title geronomi (Bachelor of Social Services and Health Care) is also becoming increasingly common. In the third sector, the graduates can work as coordinators of volunteer work, for example.
During their studies, students have an opportunity to undertake an international exchange in a place offered by a partner of Seinäjoki UAS or in a place suggested by the student. The recommended length of the exchange is three months during the fourth or fifth semester. Students of the Degree Programme as a group can also participate in international intensive courses organized by collaborative networks. It is also possible to study courses in the module Empowerment and Wellbeing of Older Adults in English language. Home internationality is enhanced by the use of learning materials in foreign languages, by contacts with exchange students and visiting lecturers and by multicultural learning contents. Students’ own initiative in internationality is appreciated.
After three years of work experience, the student will be eligible for further studies for a Master’s Degree in the field in question.
Master of Social Services, Master of Health Care (Health Promotion), Master of Social Services and Health Care (Development and Management). Graduates are also opted for university studies (nursing management, gerontology, nursing science)
In accordance with the Universities of Applied Sciences Act, the studies of a Degree Programme consist of basic studies, professional studies, practical training promoting professional skills, free elective studies, and a final project/thesis. The extent of the studies is 60 credits a year.
The professional studies are based on gerontological knowledge of aging. Gerontological knowledge forms a foundation for subject matter from both health care and social work, which are integrated in the work of elderly care experts, or geronomi (AMK). From the gerontological knowledge foundation, students move on to the knowledge of services, to the methods in preventive work and psychosocial support, to the care, nursing and rehabilitation methods and to the management in elderly care and services. For a description of practical training, please see “Work-based learning and practical training”.
Students’ research and development skills become more advanced as students progress through the Degree Programme. Students start with information seeking, communication and scientific writing skills, project work and innovation, and then move on to field-specific research and development studies. The continuum of research and development studies ends with a Bachelor’s thesis on a topic relevant and meaningful to the practice of elderly care and services. The thesis can take the form of a research, report, development undertaking, production or a product.
The elective (free choice) studies are based on students’ individual choice. The studies can comprise large modules, for example multidisciplinary working life projects, modules completed during international exchange programmes or the module on early childhood education. Students can also opt for free choice studies offered by other degree programmes at Seinäjoki UAS or other higher education institutions, or they can become involved in student union activity or tutoring, or request credits for professionally relevant employment.
The curriculum includes five seams permeating through the studies and extending over them. They are based on SeAMK’s reports, studies and strategy, as well as on the national and international recommendations and regulations related to education provided by universities of applied sciences.
- The Information Search seam strengthens the student’s professional and field-specific information search skills throughout the studies.
- The Internationalization seam secures the improvement of the student’s international competencies during their studies.
- The studies corresponding to the Entrepreneurship seam help the student understand the central and growing role of entrepreneurship in society.
- The Sustainable Development seam makes the student aware of social responsibility and helps them understand the diversity of sustainable development as a working life skill.
- The seam of Career Guidance helps the student recognise their competencies and own strengths. It also includes working life knowledge, job search skills, and lifelong learning.
Students have the opportunity to include multidisciplinary, workinglife -oriented project studies in their personal curricula (ProSeAMK). The recommended timing for multidisciplinary working life projects is the third and fourth semester.

Work-based learning and practical training are closely connected with the basic and professional studies described above and with the competences defined for the graduates (geronomi AMK).
Students have guided practice during their practical training periods. This means that a supervisor is appointed for the student at the university and in the practical placement. Students’ action is guided by the course learning outcomes and by the personal goals they have set for themselves. It is recommended that students carry out their various practical training periods in several placements rather than in a single one.
The student’s salaried work during their studies and the competencies achieved through it can be used in order to complete a course. This is referred to as employment-integrated learning, and it can also be related to voluntary work or hobbies. It is essential that the things learnt through working contribute to the attainment of the learning goals of the course. Learning achieved through employment-integrated learning can be verified, for instance, through skills demonstrations and assignments.
Employment-integrated learning means that it is possible for students to have their current employment or other suitable activity recognised and evaluated, so that they can earn credits from the work or activity. The work or activity must contain an adequate number of elements that coincide with the desired learning outcomes of the course and it must be of adequate duration. The student, teacher and the student’s employer carry out the employment-integrated learning process in cooperation. The employer makes a commitment to offer the student an opportunity for employment-integrated learning, in accordance with the learning outcomes of the course. The employment-integrated learning options are discussed with the contact person in charge of employment-integrated process in the degree programme, as part of the student’s personal study plan. Attention will be paid to the overall progress of the studies and to the required formation of professional competence. The practical arrangements should be discussed with the teacher of the course. Student fullfils application and afterwards the student indicates his/her competence following instructions given by teacher.
