Structure of the Bachelor s Degree Bachelor s degree studies are comprised of: General studies module (80 ) Joint programme studies ( ) three basic modules ( + + ) elective studies (10 or provided that the degree minimum is fulfilled) Bachelor s seminar and Bachelor s thesis (total 10 ) As Bachelor s degree studies in the and Landscape degree programmes comprehend three modules, there is no differentiation of major and minor subjects. Bachelor s thesis and seminar The Bachelor s thesis is part of a 10 module, which also includes a Bachelor s seminar and maturity test. The aim of the Bachelor s thesis and seminar module is to develop the student s skills in: information retrieval scientific thinking information analysis and processing language and communication skills. Different forms of artistic expression are also studied in the Degree Programme in and Landscape. The topic of the Bachelor s thesis is agreed upon at the beginning of the seminar with the thesis advisor, who monitors work progress and supports the student in completing the thesis. Upon completion of the thesis, the student presents it in a seminar group and serves as an opponent for another student s thesis. A Bachelor s thesis is a public document, which must be kept readily available in the department. Open to all department students, the Bachelor s seminar is a general lecture and exercise series, whose purpose is to provide support for Bachelor s theses. This includes, among others, instruction provided by the Language Centre of the Aalto University School of Science and library, covering the fundamentals of academic writing and information retrieval, use of sources and references, ethical research issues and the basics of academic communications. Language skills In Bachelor s or Master s degree studies or by some other means, the student must be able to demonstrate the following: 1. Proficiency in Finnish and Swedish, as stipulated in the Act on the Knowledge of Languages Required of Personnel in Public Bodies 424/03 (6)(1), concerning civil servants working in bilingual agencies and which are required in his/her own field; and 2. such proficiency in at least one foreign language that allows him/her to follow developments in his/her own field and work in an international environment. Internships The Bachelor s degree programme includes a compulsory internship for the purpose of developing the student s expertise. The compulsory internship is 3 in the Degree Programme in and 2 in the Degree Programme in Landscape. The maximum number of credits is 6. Master s Degree Joint Programme Studies (15 25) Note! Master s Degree in Landscape is not available in English.

3 52 Structure of the Master s Degree Elective Studies Advanced Module in a Major Subject Methodological Studies 10 (9 11) Structure of the Master s Degree Master s degree studies are comprised of: scientific method studies (10 ) three modules, one of which must be an advanced module in a major subject for the student s own degree programme and no more than one of which must be a basic module ( + + ); elective studies ( or provided that the degree minimum is fulfilled) Master s thesis (30 ) Intermediate and advanced studies are included in the modules. A special module ( ) can be a departmental module or a module consisting of studies from the student s personal study plan, which must be approved by the department. Major and minor subject The student s major subject is comprised of three degree programme modules: basic modules completed in connection with the Bachelor s degree and the subsequent intermediate module as well as the advanced module of the intermediate module. There is only one major subject per degree. The basic module and its intermediate module form the minor subject. The major subject must include at least two studio courses worth at least 9. There must be at least one studio in the minor subject. The Intermediate Module in a Major Subject 30 Intermediate Module in a Minor Subject or special module student s choice of subjects is confirmed in his/her personal study plan. The Master s degree programme may also be completed without a minor subject. Instead of a minor subject intermediate module, the student completes a personal special module. The student may choose a special module from other degree programmes or another domestic or foreign university, provided that it has been approved in his/ her personal study plan (HOPS). If a Landscape student chooses Urban Planning and Design to be his/her major subject, he/she will not be able to have a special module his/her minor subject must be in Landscape. The student s major and minor subject cannot contain the same modules. Methodological Principles The methodological principles module is comprised of scientific method studies, whose purpose is to support the student in completing his/her Master s thesis. The School has confirmed a scientific method course catalogue for all students, who must choose studies worth at least 3. The degree programme can supplement the course offering with programme-specific studies and declare no more than 5 in studies compulsory.

Transfer of credits The student may include studies taken outside the department in his/her degree. These credits may be transferred either by substitution or inclusion in the degree. Credit transfers made by substitution or inclusion can be, for example: Flexible Right to Study Agreement (JOO) studies taken in Finnish higher education institutions and universities; studies taken in foreign architecture/landscape architecture schools (e.g. Socrates exchange study); previous studies in the field taken at the Department of at the University of Tampere and University of Oulu; and on a case-by-case basis studies taken at universities of applied sciences or other educational institutions. Post-graduate degrees The post-graduate degrees primarily offered to architects and landscape architects are the Licentiate of Science (Technology) and Doctor of Science (Technology). The Doctor of Science degree can be completed after earning the Master s degree, without having to complete a licentiate degree. In special cases, a Doctor of Philosophy degree may also be earned. The Licentiate of Science (Technology) degree takes an estimated two years to complete and the Doctor of Science (Technology) degree takes 4 years. Degree Programme in (ARK) Head of degree programme: Päivi Väisänen The objective of the Degree Programme in is to educate architecture professionals, who are well equipped to perform practical design work and possess a broad understanding of the multidisciplinary cultural and artistic field of architecture. The degree programme prepares the student for independent and creative design in various architectural fields and provides him/her with sufficient knowledge and skills to work in co-operation with designers, engineers and developers as well as the users of built environments. The academic objective of the degree programme is to provide theoretical and methodical skills in information retrieval necessary in design work and its critical application as well as the ability to do research, engage in post-graduate study and serve in an advisory capacity. Even though the core expertise of the architect profession remains intact, new skill sets are being introduced to meet future challenges. Changes in broader society and, in particular, the demands of sustain-able development and energy issues, will affect course content and goal-setting. Factors related to sustainable development, such as understanding processes that affect the environment, require multidisciplinary approaches. Challenges involving demographic changes are, particularly with regard to ageing, health and well-being as well as multiculturalism. Use of state-of-the-art information and communications technology will increasingly become part of design, especially data modelling and, in the future, using augmented reality. Future needs also comprehend interaction and process mana Structure of the Bachelor of Science Degree (Technology) 180, Degree Programme in Entity Scope Code Courses A901-P General Studies A901-O Programme General Studies A101-1 Basic Module in History and Theory of A102-1 Basic Module in Building Design Hannu Huttunen A103-1 Basic Module in Urban Planning and Design A901-K Bachelor s Thesis and Seminar Hannu Huttunen A901-V Elective Studies A A A A A A A A A A A A MA MA A Kie / Kie Kie / Kie Kie-98.xxxx Harj A A A A A A A A A A A A-8.11 A-8.13 A A A A A A MA A Yhd ARK.kyps ARK.kand 2, Basic Design A 9 Visual Arts 1, Autumn 2 Visual Arts 1, Spring 2 Building Technology 1, Basic course 9 Building Technology 2, Basic course 9 Physics and Mechanics of Structures 3 An Architect s Material Technology 3 History of, Basic course I, lecture course 4 History of, Basic course II, exercises 5 Art History 4 Introduction to Urban Planning and Design 5 Basic Course in Urban Planning and Design 5 Basics of Landscape, Autumn 4 Basics of Landscape, Spring 5 IT 1 Introduction to Architectural CAD 4 National Language Requirements, written 1 (Swedish/Finnish) National Language Requirements, oral 1 (Swedish/Finnish) Foreign language 3 Internship, Bachelor s degree 3 IT 1 Computer as an Architect s Tool 1 2 Introduction to the History of and Art 1 Introduction to Studies in and Landscape 2 Basics of 1, Autumn term 7 Basics of 1, Spring term 7 History of Town Planning 4 (may also be taken in the basic module of Urban Planning and Design) in Finland and Scandinavia 6 12(15) (compulsory minimum for a degree in 12 ) History of Modern 5 9 Renovation of Traditional Structures 6 9 Visual Arts 2, Autumn 2 Visual Arts 2, Spring 2 Special project in the History and Theory of 1 4 Public Buildings 1 (compulsory) 2 Public Buildings 2 (compulsory) 10 Housing Design I (compulsory) 10 Urban Space 1 (compulsory) 6 Urban Space 2 (compulsory) 6 GIS in Urban Planning online course 2 Professional Course in Urban Planning 8 Communicative Planning and Planning Argumentation P 4 Landscape Analysis 4 History of Town Planning 4 (may also be taken in the basic module of the History and Theory of ) Fundamentals of Urban and Environmental Technology 3 Urban Planning and Design, Special project 1 4 Maturity test 0 Bachelor s thesis and seminar 10 The module may contain studies from one s own degree programme as well as from other University degree programmes or other home or foreign universities.

History and Theory of History of Basics and Theory of 2. Building Design Building Technology Building Structures (incl. Information Technology) Public Buildings Housing Design Wood 3. Urban Planning and Design Urban and Regional Planning Urban Design History and Theory of History of The aim of compulsory studies is to provide the student with the following: an overview of the history of architecture an overview of the history of Finnish architecture and its association with the architectural history of neighbouring regions; knowledge of the built environment in Finland an overview of art history, i.e. history of visual arts and design use of literature and information sources in studies presentation and layout techniques (particularly wash and watercolour techniques) drafting plans for traditional built environments or sites and documenting the building history of a site; making presentation drawings and drawing with felt-tip pens. The aim of major and, in part, minor subjects is to provide the following elements of architectural history: in-depth knowledge on topics involving the general history of architecture and research on architectural history skills in doing studies as well as using information sources and reference material; skills in site documentation knowledge of building conservation and restoration as well as design issues and tasks related to these knowledge of old building techniques and surface treatments as well as related repair and conservation techniques. Basics and Theory of Initially, attention is given to architectural expression, the language and purpose of art as well as experience, memory and imagination as the foundation for artistic influence. The aim of studies is to expand the student s worldview and inspire interest in the various fields of art as well as cultural and human phenomena. The goal is to awaken a critical curiosity as well as an inner uncompromisingness and sense of quality. Another goal involves an understanding of the status and responsibility of architecture in society, the interplay of tradition and innovation and outlooks for sustainable development. Basics of guides the student toward an experimental and inquisitive work approach that makes use of all the senses. Handcrafting and having direct contact with the materials are key. Instruction is primarily given in departmental workshops. Basics of introduces the student to thinking and conceptualisation methods used by architects, focusing on the meaningful content of environment, buil- 56 dings and objects.

Building Design Building Technology The aim of Building Technology is to familiarise students with the key technical aspects of architecture. The students will develop their knowledge of materials and operating practices, engage in the innovative design of structural members and learn about the renovation of newer building stock. Sustainable development is an integral part of studies. Public Buildings The aim of Public Buildings is to familiarise the student with the design of public buildings and their surroundings. The design of public buildings is one of the most demanding areas of architecture, as their construction and maintenance require a major investment by both the community and society at large. The public buildings are significant for sustainable development and the importance of the quality of their design can also be seen in the large number of architecture competitions held for their development. The range of different types of public buil-

Wood The aim of Wood is to provide basic skills in work approaches based on a knowledge of wood properties and special issues involving wood construction. The ob-

7 60 jective is to maintain a hands-on approach, which is realised in the test building studio as well as on work commissions, development work and various projects. There are no Bachelor s level studies offered in Wood. Urban Planning and Design Urban Planning and Design is divided into two main areas: Urban and Regional Planning, which places an emphasis on a more general approach to design as well as the scientific basis and multidisciplinarism of design; and Urban Design, which focuses on a more detailed approach to design as well as architectural and space design. Urban Planning and Design can be chosen as a major or minor subject in both the and Landscape degree programmes. Within the specified framework of the student s own degree programme, it may also be chosen as a minor subject by students in the Department of Surveying, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering as well as, for example, students of Planning Geography at the University of Helsinki. Urban Planning and Design commonly involves co-operation between experts in several different fields. This is addressed in studies by, for example, developing interaction skills and doing group work. The aim of Urban Planning and Design is to provide basic education for designers of socially-responsible built environments. An Urban Planning and Design expert will have a command of: the main points of the history of urban planning and design environment types and their primary features, the language of a built environment basic knowledge of the relationship between users of a built environment and the environment planning and zoning of built environments and land use at different levels as well as the link between planning and public administration and organisations urban planning theories and methods, the fundamentals of research conducted in the field of urban planning as well as co-ordination of various urban planning sectors to en-sure that built areas are developed in a socially sustainable manner planning project and process management and interaction between various experts, authorities and involved parties. Degree Programme in Landscape (MAR) Head of degree programme: Landscape is a multidisciplinary field for the design of outdoor spaces, their construction and management in a full range of scales. Landscape combines expertise in the arts, natural sciences and technology. Ethics, ecology and functionality are the fundamental values of Landscape. The aim is to create sustainable, well-designed environments and communities. In practice, this comprehends, among others: the design of residential environments, public parks, green zones, recreational and workplace areas; planning the use of areas for zoning; the conservation and management of landscapes and historic environments; planning environmental restoration; research on landscapes and environment; and advisory assignments.
