Theory and practice with a purpose

Which courses to choose?

The degree requirements vary a bit between different schools, but the principle is to select min. 5 ECTS from each ‘foreign’ curriculum in addition to the two USchool courses (USchool Intro; User Experience Design in Practice). 

In Aalto, the minor consists of 20-25 ECTS, and in Helsinki University min. 25 ECTS
