3 Curriculum 3(16) 1 Laurea University of Applied Sciences 1.1 Laurea s Mission Laurea is a student-centred, international, inspiring and innovative university of applied sciences whose mission is to conduct education, research, development and innovation activities and produce new knowledge by applying the principles of the Learning by Developing (LbD) operating model. Laurea's focus areas are service business, expertise in nursing and coping at home as well as security, safety and social responsibility. Education offered at Laurea as well as research and development activities are based on these focus areas. Student entrepreneurship is a cross-cutting focus area. Student entrepreneurship is visible as an entrepreneurial attitude, cooperation with companies and as concrete new businesses the establishing of which is supported during the studies. Laurea's brand promise "Together we are stronger" describes Laurea's solid regional development role. Laurea is a University of Applied Sciences for the whole region of Uusimaa, and its knowledge and skills are available to the whole area. Our service promise "We are here for you at Laurea" is a promise of good learning for our students, and for our cooperative partners a promise of partnership and developing together. 1.2 Competence development in master's studies Laurea's model of Learning by Developing (LbD) is based on authentic encounters with the world of work. The typical characteristics of LbD include authenticity, partnership, experiential nature, creativity and a research-oriented approach. Learning by Developing combines learning that produces competence with creativity through various research and development projects. In Master's degree programmes, the learning process comprises a future-oriented process of research and development, in the course of which the students develop their competence by producing new knowledge and skills related to questions that cannot be solved merely by relying on previously acquired knowledge and competence. Learning is a way of creating new knowledge and competence that links learning to innovation activities in the relevant field and area. For the students, the period they spend in education is a collective project for building up their expertise and developing and exceeding themselves, aiming for a combination of knowledge that is relevant and useful from the perspective of future workplace requirements. The foundation for competence development is an enriching community. The community is an environment of shared expertise in which the learner's role is to act as a specialist, a developer and an agent exerting influence. The learners develop their competence by interacting with their environment and their sector. Resources for competence development include a learning culture that favours creativity and goaloriented action, expert guidance and instruction, as well as a learning environment that supports competence development. Participatory instruction is used to guide competence. Every teacher is a tutor whose expertise and operating methods support the reinforcement of expertise. The learning environment consists of a competence network, an innovation environment, a platform for developing

4 Curriculum 4(16) competence and structures that support learning. When putting together learning environments, empowering people and enabling their enthusiasm and their interaction is stressed to foster creativity. Rather than focusing on presenting and repeating information and controlling the students' command of it, the teaching strives for a learning process demonstrated as progressive problem-solving, continuous learning and developing and exceeding oneself. The goal is at competence that is useful in knowledge-intensive service organisations where work increasingly is a function of creativity and where a precondition for directing the organisation is an ability to create a responsible, resultoriented management culture that is based on giving space for the individual's creativity. Competence is demonstrated as impact and development competence. 2 Degree structure in education leading to a master's degree 2.1 Scope and extent of the degree The scope of the degree is 90 credits of which thesis forms 30 credits.the degree takes on average years to complete. In line with the international ECTS standard, one credit corresponds with 26.7 hours of work for an average student. 2.2 Degree Structure Master s degree studies at Laurea consists of core competence modules including thesis, and complementary competence modules. The modules comprise competence areas that are part of the degree. The scope of the compulsory core competence modules is 60 credits in master s degree. Complementary modules make it possible to deepen or extend your knowledge. Complementary competence modules support individual study paths and competence. Complementary competence modules that can be selected freely are offered on Laurea's various campuses. The extent of complementary competence in a Master's degree is 30 credits. 3 Assessment of learning and competence In the curriculum, the learning outcomes are described as the learner's actions, so that the development of competence can be assessed with reference to the set goals. Competence is identified as knowledge, skills and values related competence as well as experiential competence that includes the competence of an individual and a community. 4 International comparability of the degree Competence is at the centre of all activities at Laurea, and we recognize competence in a comprehensive sense. General working life capabilities specified at the national level have been taken into account in the degree contents.

5 Curriculum 5(16) The level of the degree corresponds with level 7 of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and level 7 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). 5 Expertise in a Field Global Development and Management in Health Care is a professional program for health care professionals interested in the development and management of health care within public health, health care industry institutions (hospitals), and in public, private and non-profit sectors. The program focuses on health care development and management from the perspectives of global health and humanity, health and infection prevention, health tourism, and encounter art /clinical art. Within the transnational projects the students meet global health topics and challenges in development and management when creating working theories and practices for the good of health care service users. Master s in Global Development and Management in Health Care is a years program. The scope of the degree is 90 credits of which thesis forms 30 credits. The degree takes on average years to complete. In line with the international ECTS standard, one credit corresponds with 26.7 hours of work for an average student. The studies are offered in English, and they can be completed alongside a full-time job. The candidates are awarded the qualification of Master of Health Care at European Qualification Framework (EQF) level 7 applied for Laurea s studies (Annex 1). Admission requirements for the studies are Bachelor degree in Health Care: Nurse or Public Health Nurse; or Bachelor of Social Services; or Bachelor of Physiotherapy. Minimum of three years of relevant work experience acquired after graduation and fluent spoken and written English are required. The main objective of the Master in Global Development and Management of Health Careprogramme (GLOBDEM) is to provide a structured, and methodologically advanced studies that will enable construction of future competences for health care. This will enhance EU s and global demands and visions for multi-professional and transcultural performance in Health Care by bringing the worlds of education and work closer together. The development of the right mix of skills and better anticipation of future services will take place in development projects, and development and cocreation of medical and health related equipment and methods (Figure 1). Building solid bridges between the world of work and higher education providers offers contexts to match skills provision also to the needs of enterprises and society. (Hermans et al. (eds.) 2009; Campbell et al. 2010; ILO 2010; IMHE 2010; WHO 2010). The theoretical and practical contents of the GLOBDEM-degree were planned to meet the needs of health care employers and employees, and to enable post master s degree education. This improves overall advanced HCW s competencies and aims to facilitate simultaneously both the retention of the HCWs in local and organizational level, and to support the creation of true European area of skills and qualifications where learners and workers can move freely for job purposes or further learning (Hillman & Foster 2011; Erasmus+ 2020). 6 Competence Development in Global Development and Management in Health Care The Master Degree in Global Development and Management of Health Care provides competences to work in international contexts e.g. development projects; multicultural partnerships; and multidisciplinary networks and teams in public and private consortiums. The educators are accountable for public by ensuring that developers and managers in health care are safe, competent

Graduating student will have an attitude of Professional Accountability and Responsibility; ability to Self-Management; Knowledge-Based and Ethical Practice; and ability to practice in global health services, organizations, and enterprises. To reach this goal the co-creation of the curriculum with working-life partners, students and Higher Education Institutes (HEI) alumni was considered necessary. This Master Degree provides the student opportunity to achieve competencies to develop effective services as essential part of health care. The students will co-create competencies to benefit up-todate and reliable evidential data on populations health-care needs and available resources. By this the students can meet the critical global need for increased numbers of qualified health-care personnel and increasingly more efficient and multidisciplinary health-care systems (WHO 2010). Also the competencies for first-line management will be possible to further develop to better meet the requirements to maintain continuity of health care staff and leaders (Johansson et al. 2006, Picker- Rotem et al. 2008). The shared generic competences described by Arene in 2010 defined at EQF 7 level by Laurea University of Applied Sciences (Appendix 1) and more detailed competencies based on a review of international literature below: Co-operative-competencies Transversal competencies (digital competences; entrepreneurial competences ) Team management and collaboration with other health professional team members Development and leveraging of human, environmental and material resources Management and use of client-care and information technology Lateral integration of care for a specified group of patients Know-how management competencies Future-management competencies EU- and globally strategic HC & SS-related competencies (e.g. infection control & migration) The Master in Global Development and Management in Health Care-program will be realized within development programs implemented according to LbD-model (Raij 2007, Taatila & Raij 2011, and Aholaakko 2011). The LbD-model serves a practical frame of reference for the studies (Figure 1). In the beginning of the study program the students personalize the studies by construction of competence based portfolio. The portfolio guides the personalized studies accumulating the theoretical studies as part of the development project seeking methodological and theoretical reasoning for the development work origin from needs of the work life.
