What is a multidisciplinary Innovation Project in Metropolia?
- Every undergraduate takes part in a 10 credit point innovation project
- The subject matters arise from labour market needs
- Students, lecturers and tutors from various fields of study cooperate with businesses to create new solutions
- The outcome will not be determined in advance: during the process new solutions will be found for the benefit of businesses and customers
- Project team work independently most of the time, reporting to tutors and the customers
Background
- When Metropolia University of Applied Sciences was established in 2007, it was decided that each student’s study program would include innovation project studies worth 10 credits.
- Innovation projects play a significant part in Metropolia’s curriculum and have a central role in the cooperation between students and employers.
- Up to 1000 innovation projects are carried out every year.
- This way Metropolia is able to offer an important input in developing the working life of the surrounding areas as well as provide better possibilites for integrating students into working life.
- Another aim of the innovation projects is to support Metropolia’s RDI strategy, and student resources can be directed at implementing the RDI strategy
