  • CS-E4675 - Full Stack Web Development (5-7 ECTS)

    • The course Full Stack Web Development is offered by the University of Helsinki (see https://fullstackopen.com/). It is offered fully online. To complete the course and include it into your studies at Aalto, attend the course as follows.

      Complete the course following the guidelines at https://fullstackopen.com/, also taking the exam at the University of Helsinki. Contrary to the guidelines on the site, take the course with at least 5 ECTS (i.e. the 3 ECTS version is not accepted). Once you have completed the course, submit the course certificate and a link to "opintopolku" (My Studyinfo service) that contains the official certificate.

      Guidelines for "opintopolku" are as follows:

      Completed studies are entered into the My Studyinfo service which is maintained by the Finnish National Agency for Education. You can use them to evidence your studies, for example, to institutions of education or employers.

      The My Studyinfo service contains all of your rights to study and completed studies at institutions of higher education from 1995 onwards.

      • To get a certificate from My Studyinfo, log in to the My Studyinfo with online banking codes, Mobile ID or an ID card with a chip.
      • After you have logged in to My Studyinfo, you will receive a link for saving the information on your completed studies or sharing it with other people or organisations, share that link to us.

      Submission of certificate and transcript Assignment

      Once you have completed the course, submit the course certificate and the transcript (or a link to your "Opintopolku") using this form. Submitted transcripts are processed approximately every two to three weeks.

      Once the transcript is processed, the course is graded. Upgrading credits is not possible and thus, if you plan to complete the course with 7 ECTS, do not submit the request with e.g. 5 ECTS.
