Competences

The programme is competences oriented. Competence refers to a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes a student hold. Every Degree Programme at HAAGA-HELIA University of Applied Sciences offers a different set of opportunities for personal and professional development via competences.

Our students will be able to develop 'Generic Competences' and 'Core Competences'.

› Generic competences are common to all graduates of HAAGA-HELIA UAS.

› Core competences are distinctive as they are high competences activities that the industry recognises as differentiating a student from this degree programme from any other programme, and therefore provide a competitive advantage.

Competences in this programme represent a transferable, multifunctional package of knowledge, skills and attitudes that students need for personal fulfilment and development, inclusion and employment in the field of Experience and Wellness within Leisure and Tourism.

These competences act as a foundation for further learning as part of lifelong learning (for example, Master studies).
