MultiPro One Welfare concept
MultiPro One Welfare highlights the interconnected well-being of humans, animals, and the environment – its three core pillars. The programme is open to all students who are eager to collaborate in an international setting, contribute their own subject expertise, and deepen their understanding of the One Welfare approach. While the natural focus is on students from agriculture, environmental sciences, veterinary, food technology, social services and nursing, we warmly welcome participants from all fields.
MultiPro offers a unique opportunity to grow your international professional network – many connections made during the programme turn into lasting friendships and meaningful collaborations. Savonia is known for its balanced blend of theory and practical learning. During the programme, you’ll take part in on-site visits, hands-on tasks that run alongside theoretical studies, and inspiring excursions. By the end of the 90 days, you will have broadened your perspective on One Welfare, strengthened both individual and teamwork skills, learned to navigate complex discussions on welfare-related issues, and gained confidence in working in international environments.
Teaching methods
Teaching methods include lectures, teamwork and projects. MultiPro can also include a traineeship / placement period. The students present the results of their learning outcomes in the MultiPro final seminar. Savonia uses Moodle as an eLearning platform in teaching and communication. Several other digital tools are used, too.
Finnish approach
Practical assistance including tutoring and guidance and counselling help in the transition into study life.
