New implementation methods  

The reformed implementation methods will be applied to implementations starting after 1 January 2027. 

• CONTACT – The implementation is delivered as in-person teaching on campus. 

• BLENDED – Blended will be a separate implementation method. The implementation includes teaching on campus and/or online as well as independent study. Check Lukkarikone (Timetable tool) to see whether the blended course teaching takes place on campus or online. Remember to log in to Lukkarikone. 

• ONLINE – The implementation is delivered as scheduled online teaching. 

• INDEPENDENTONLINE – Virtual implementations will be INDEPENDENTONLINE. The implementation consists of independent work in an online learning environment according to given deadlines. The course may include remotely proctored demonstration of competence. 

  • Possible additional code: NONSTOP - An implementation for which enrolment remains open until two weeks before the end of the implementation. The implementation can be completed at the student's own pace during the period when the implementation is available. 

Spring and summer 2027 implementations 

The timetables for spring and summer 2027 implementations will be published on 19 November 2026. The enrolment for implementations begins on 25 November 2026 at 8.00 and ends on 2 December 2026 at 16.00. The post-enrolment begins on 14 December 2026 at 9.00 and ends at 16.00 on the Friday of the week before the implementation begins. 

Graduation

You can apply for graduation after all your study credits, including thesis, are completed and evaluated in your study record. The last day to apply for graduation in the autumn semester is 7 December 2026 at 23.59, if you wish to graduate on the day of the graduation ceremony 14 December 2026. More information about the Haaga-Helia joint graduation ceremony on the graduation ceremony page. 

Note! If you are unable to complete your studies by 7 December 2026, you may still finish the remaining coursework by the end of the academic year, i.e. by 31 December 2026. If you complete and submit all assignments/reports required for assessment during the period of your study right and apply for graduation no later than December 31, you can still graduate without applying for extension of study time. Graduating within this year applies that all completed coursework will be approved.  

Please plan well in advance with your thesis advisor the day when you hand in your thesis for evaluation. The thesis evaluation process can take up to three weeks, so the thesis needs to be ready in mid-November unless otherwise agreed with the advisor. More information about the evaluation and finishing the thesis can be found on Master students’ thesis pages.
