Academic recognition of learning

Recognition of prior learning through work and other activities offers an alternative way to complete studies. In this process, students develop competencies that align with the learning outcomes of their degree programme through activities such as employment, entrepreneurship, volunteering, organisational involvement, or hobbies. Their learning is complemented by acquiring relevant theoretical knowledge related to the competencies being developed. This section provides information about the recognition process, its opportunities, and the related practices at Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK).
