This initiative, spearheaded by the Finnish Ministry of Education, focuses on reforming university degree structures to ensure that graduation occurs within five years for students at twelve participating universities, including Uni Oulu and Uni Kuopio. The project emphasizes the development of individual study plans, expanded degree extents, improved student guidance, and enhanced Master's programmes, with a total funding of €5 million per year. National coordination groups target various disciplines like humanities, sciences, and education to further streamline and improve the academic framework.
