Wihi instructions, Master's Degree

Wihi (earlier Konto) is thesis guidance and monitoring platform for students and supervisors during the thesis process. The purpose of Wihi is to support students to follow-up their own progress during the thesis process and to serve as a platform for joint communication between the students and their supervisor.

All students who commenced their thesis in September 2020 or later will use Wihi. If you are not sure whether you should take your thesis process to Wihi, ask your thesis supervisor, or the head of your specialisation or degree programme.

The student logs in to Wihi after the topic proposal has been approved by the specialisation head. The student records in Wihi his/her topic proposal and a plan for the goals and schedule of the thesis.

How to log in to Wihi

Students log in to Wihi with their Haaga-Helia username and password. If the student has more than one Haaga-Helia ID (ie. student number), he/she selects the user ID associated with the active Master's degree. The platform is personal and students will not be able to see each other’s work in Wihi.

You can find detailed Wihi instructions by logging in and clicking the question mark icon at the top right of the page.

Wihi, sections 1, 2 and 3
