Pedagogical Guidelines

Centria University of Applied Sciences’s pedagogical guidelines serve as a compass through which we ensure both the quality of teaching and the continuous development of student learning.

The aim of these guidelines is to strengthen student learning, support teachers in their work, and ensure that Centria graduates are skilled and adaptable professionals ready for working life.

The pedagogical themes that are important to Centria are structured into four elements. In addition, the student’s role as a learner and active participant is described:

• A Meaningful Learning Experience – Enabling learning that inspires and endures
• Becoming an Expert – Building a strong foundation while continuously renewing
• Strong Connection to Working Life – Creating learning that opens doors to employment
• Sense of Community – Learning together and caring for one another
• Student as an Active Participant – Growing into a professional capable of renewal

All elements are connected by the idea of a sustainable degree – a competence base that supports the student throughout their career and in a changing world.
