Teaching activities are scheduled lectures and classes, during which one or more teachers are present in the classroom.

There are two types of teaching activities at KEA:

• Theory-based teaching activities
  The theory-based teaching activities focus on theory. One or more teachers will be present at all times. Theory-based teaching activities include e.g. lectures by internal and external lecturers, classroom-based activities etc.
• Practice-based teaching activities
  The practice-based teaching activities translate theory into practice, and the knowledge you have gained through the theory-based teaching activities is transformed into projects and/or products. One or more teachers will be present at all times. The practice-based teaching activities include e.g. exercises in labs or workshops, case work, workshops, company visits, online exercises, guidance in connection with projects or group work, project presentations, etc.

Preparation time is the time which you or your study group spend preparing for subjects/programme elements.

This may involve, for example, reading notes taken during lectures or classes, watching videoed teaching activities, reading the syllabus, study group work, project work in one of KEA's workshops, information searches, collecting empirical data, portfolio work, doing assignments, exercises, going to the conference or exhibitions, etc.

The internship is an important part of your study programme at KEA, and depending on the type of study programme you choose to do, you must do either a 10-week or a 20-week internship in the course of your studies. The time allocated for your internship also includes a number of hours of guidance from your internship supervisor.

Internship activities vary depending on the type of internship which you decide to do. It is up to you to divide your time between the work which you carry out for the host organisation, writing your internship report, preparing for the internship exam etc.

In connection with the internship, you should expect to spend time on the following activities:

• Preparation and approval of internship contract
• Writing applications to potential host organisations
• Undertaking the assignments agreed with the host organisation
• Logbook
• Sparring with your contact person at the host organisation
• Evaluating the internship
• Writing an internship report
• Exam
• Etc.

The final project is the time which you spend researching and writing your final project, either on your own or together with some of your fellow students. In the course of writing your final project, you will also be offered guidance from your supervisor.

You are responsible for dividing the time you spend on your project between activities like:

• Collection of empirical data
• Reading theory
• Working with a company
• Writing of the assignment
• Requirements for the final project
• Etc.
