STUDYING AT THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES University registration The Bachelor’s programme lasts for four years. Every student has to register him/herself at the University at the beginning of all academic years. If the student has been unable to complete the studies by the programme deadline, he/she may apply for extra time to complete the programme requirements. The decision on the extension of the programme deadline is made by the Dean of the Faculty. After the programme deadline, the student may not register at the University without the Dean’s permission. Studying The Finnish system of academic education gives students a lot of freedom to plan and schedule their studies. This means that planning the schedule for the academic year, i.e. choosing the subjects and study modules, matching the times of lectures and keeping the schedule intensive throughout the studies, requires a lot of activity and responsibility on the part of the student. More independence is given also by the free choice of minor subjects and courses from other Departments and Faculties. If the students meet the prerequisites or pass an initial language test, they are usually free to attend any course they might want. Both the Bachelor’s and Master’s level programmes have many different ways for completing the study modules. In some of the modules the attendance is compulsory, as in BA/MA thesis seminars, some modules are to be completed by doing independent work, such as book examinations, and some modules are evaluated by final exams, essays or lecture diaries. -Lectures are a common method of study at the University of Tampere. They are public, which means that anyone may attend. Lecture courses normally include 2-4 hours of lectures per week. Usually there is no registration required for the lectures and the attendance is not obligatory. In order to get credits for the lecture course, students must usually either take an examination based on the lectures or write a lecture diary. -A seminar consists of a small group of students who usually meet once a week for one or two terms. Unlike with the lectures, attendance at the group sessions is obligatory. Seminars normally require active participation in class, in the form of writing an essay and/or giving a presentation and participating in discussions. -Book Examinations: Some courses may be completed by independent reading of literature included in the course module requirements, followed by an exam on these set books. The student has to sign up for the examination 7 days beforehand in Internet through NettiOpsu or by filling in a sign-up envelope and returning it to the department in question. Book examinations are taken on specific faculty examination days usually arranged once a month. The time to complete the test is four hours. Book examinations may also be taken during the summer time (June-August).

46

-In many courses, the student is required to write an essay on a topic defined by the lecturer in order to receive credits. An essay is a scientific text, and its aim is to survey literature and other material and present the student’s own views on a given topic. Thus, it is not a summary of the source literature. The topic of an essay must always be clearly defined. The length and layout of an essay are defined by the department and lecturer in question. Sometimes it is also possible to complete the whole course by writing an essay on a given topic, but this needs to be negotiated with the teacher in charge of the course. -A lecture diary is a written paper on the contents of the lectures. However, it is not only a review of the lectures. A lecture diary is a way of reflecting on what the student has learned through the lectures, and its aim is to summarize, comment on and analyse the content of the lectures. The length and other details of the lecture diary are determined by the lecturer in question, normally during the first lecture. For further information on writing essays and papers, please see “Writing Research Papers” guide on the ISSS web pages (http://www.uta.fi/laitokset/isss/instructions/research_papers.pdf). Registration of study attainments All the required courses in the Bachelor’s programme will be organized only once during the time of the programme. It is the responsibility of the student to make sure that he/she completes all required modules and has them registered in the study register. Application for the certificate At the end of their studies, students have to apply for the certificate of the programme and the degree. The Faculty office will ascertain that the student has fully completed his/her programme and has the overall grades required for the degree. For further information, please see the ISSS web pages (http://www.uta.fi/isss) or contact the ISSS office.

PLAGIARISM POLICY Plagiarism is a serious academic offence! Plagiarism means using direct or paraphrased quotations or ideas from other sources, including both print references and the internet, in your own writing without specifically citing these in a way consistent with good academic practice. Please note the following procedures if plagiarism is detected: University of Tampere - Regulations for Evaluation of Studies (http://www.uta.fi/studies/legislation/evaluation_regulations.html): 16 § Procedure if cheating is detected A student who is guilty of cheating in an examination may be expelled immediately from the examination room by the invigilator and his/her performance will be disqualified. The performance shall also be rejected when the cheating is detected only after the examination. Other performance may also be rejected if the student can be proven to have cheated at the time. Cheating may lead to other disciplinary measures under the legislation (Universities Act 645/97) 19 § and Universities Decree (115/98). Universities Act 645/97 (http://www.finlex.fi/en/laki/kaannokset/): Section 19 Disciplinary action (1) A student who has committed an offence against teaching or research at the university may, as a disciplinary measure, be given a caution or be suspended for a maximum of one year. Provisions concerning the procedure shall be enacted by decree. Universities Decree 115/98 (no official English version available, only in Finnish or Swedish) The rector of the university will decide on the caution given for the offense against teaching or research at the university referred to in the section 19 of the Universities Act. The suspension mentioned in the same section of the Act will be decided by the University Council. Before the matter is handled, the student will demonstrably be provided with the information on what offense s/he is charged with and offered an opportunity to be heard on the matter.

Jean Monnet European Centre of Excellence The Monnet activities within the University of Tampere were initiated in August 1995 with the establishment of Finland’s first ever Jean Monnet professorship to the Faculty of Social Sciences. The first holder of the post was Burkhard Aufferman. From autumn 1998 to summer 2007 Dr Jyrki Käkönen held the chair, and since 1 August 2007 Dr. Pami Aalto takes care of the duties of the Jean Monnet Professor. In February 2000 the Faculty established a Centre for European Studies. It was converted into a Jean Monnet Centre already in May the same year when the European Commission granted the University the status of Jean Monnet European Centre of Excellence. Jean Monnet Professor is the director of the Centre.

The main task of the Jean Monnet Centre is to coordinate the cooperation of different departments in teaching and research in the field of European Studies. The centre organises annually the multidisciplinary Jean Monnet course on European Integration and Enlargement, and supports teaching in European studies offered by various departments of the University. The Jean Monnet professor teaches in the field of European integration and regional co-operation, within the Department of Political Science and International Relations and within the European Studies Master's programmes coordinated by the ISSS.

In addition, the Centre aims at developing cooperation between the University and other regional actors in European issues. The Centre is part of the International School of Social Sciences (ISSS) in the Faculty of Social Sciences, where Planning Officer Ms. Eveliina Permi is in charge of its administrative functions.
