On the university courses offered through FITech, you are able to update and upgrade your skills free of charge. Society and the world of work are rapidly going digital, and FITech can help you keep up with the changes. 

FITech’s courses are offered by Finnish universities of technology, which guarantees their high quality. You can start studying a new subject from the basics or go deeper into a subject you know better with intermediate or advanced level courses. 

Next spring, more than 200 courses will be offered, covering a wide range of topics from ICT, 5G technology, energy storage and the hydrogen economy. 75% of the spring courses will be offered either as distance learning or as self-paced open online courses (e.g. MOOCs). There are also some courses that offer the possibility to attend contact teaching on the university campus. 

The application period for spring courses is now open and closes about two weeks before the start of each course. The first courses will start in January 2024. 

Note! The application period for courses starting in January ends on 17.12.2023.

Students learning field-specific terminology through glossary tasks

I interviewed two Aalto University instructors who have used glossaries created by students as coursework in a subject course and a field-specific language course. The assignments are based on active learning methods: the glossaries are not created by the instructor, but by the learners themselves. The interview focused, among other things, on the teaching philosophy behind developing the glossary tasks, how the learning of field-specific vocabulary can be linked to the overall learning objectives of the course, and what technical solutions enable students’ active learning in glossary assignments.
