ARTS Amnesty Day on 31.5.2018
To help you finish your uncompleted courses and leave for a summer job or well-deserved holiday with light shoulders, the School of Arts, Design and Architecture has decided to organize an ARTS-wide Amnesty Day on 31.5.2018.
On this day, you will be able to turn in any leftover work from courses undertaken this semester, so you can receive the credits for this academic year. Courses older than that may be returned at the responsible teacher’s discretion. If you have courses you would like to submit leftover work for on this day, please contact the teachers of the course as soon as possible, however by 24.5., to make sure they have time to prepare for the extra grading work.
If you have missed an exam, there is an ARTS General Examination date on Saturday, June 16th , where you may take the test. To enroll to take a test, please contact your teacher by 24.5.
In the future, we are improving the possibilities for students to plan their studies ahead by changing to a 2-year course planning period, collectively planning different courses’ deadlines not to overlap whenever possible, and providing better guidance for personal study planning (HOPS).
WHAT: Amnesty Day
WHEN: 31.5.2018
WHERE: Everywhere in ARTS
COST: A bit of work
WHY: By completing your unfinished courses you get a chill summer and a chill Kela!
We wish you a productive end of the spring and a joyful summer!
II Studies
Summer course in co-operative values and principles I, 2.7. – 12.8.2018
Course: CNS-P1 Co-operative values and principles I
Aim: At the end of the course the students have a fair understanding of what co-operative enterprises are and which values and principles they are built on. The students get acquainted with different types of co-operatives and with the ways these apply the co-operative values and principles in practice.
Content: In the course the history of modern cooperatives and their values and principles at both national and international levels are dealt with. The students learn how the cooperative values and principles originated and took shape during the 1900’s, how they evolved during the 2000’s and how they are reshaped to the demands of today’s global world. The study module ends with examples of cooperatives showing that they are not curiosities from the past, but that the challenges of the modern business environment can be answered by them.
Realization and methods: Web course in English (some exercises can be written in Finnish/Itsenäiset opiskelutehtävät voi kirjoittaa halutessaan suomeksi)
Credits: 5 cr
Students at Aalto University School of Economics in Helsinki and at the Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) are entitled to six credit points upon completion of additional tasks.

SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN ASIA – STUDY & TRAVEL IN SUMMER 2018
Studying abroad is once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it’s something that can positively impact both your personal and professional future. Many students who have studied abroad report afterwards that it was one of the best experiences in their whole life.
Maybe you already know this and you’ve dreamed about studying abroad, but committing to a full semester or academic abroad just doesn’t fit your plans.
You might want to graduate quickly and may also have other reasons why setting off to a foreign country for a lengthy period of time just doesn’t seem feasible.
If that is the case for you, there is an option for you that doesn’t require that you set aside your life at home for several months at a time. By joining an international summer school, you get to experience a new country, learn the basics of a new language, gain friends from all over the world and take some interesting courses at the same time, all within just a month.
A summer school is an effective way to combine exploring a new country and studying. It’s more than just sightseeing and lying on a beach, more than just sitting in front of a pile of books the whole summer. You get to take a break from your familiar environment while also feeling that you’re doing something productive:
- You get to know a new country and culture better than a mere tourist
- You learn things you wouldn’t be able to learn at home, both in- and outside the classroom
- You earn academic credits which you can include into your degree back home
- You get to know people from all over the world
- A summer school looks good in your CV and showcases to your future employers that you are active and make good use of your time

The Questionnaire of Teekkari Museum
On the annual ball week Thursday we’ll hold a traditions event, where we want to present current associations’ annual ball traditions in the Teekkari museum. We will print and frame posters containing information about these, so I hope you’ll take the time to shortly answer this questionnaire, so we’ll have information to work on (DL would be the upcoming Tuesday, the 15th). If you are able to be present at some point between 18-22 to answer possible questions and bring with you some relics, like ceremony master’s staff, that would be even more fantastic. Afterwards you’ll get to keep the framed posters for yourselves!
Keväisin terkuin,
