Abstract: There are three main statutory tasks for Finnish universities of applied sciences, these are: education, research and development, and regional development. An objective for Laurea University of Applied Sciences is to design, integrate and implement these three statutory tasks into everyday action using design research and action research. In the early phase of Integrative Action and "inter-operative learning", it soon became evident that the traditional curriculum process was not optimally supportive of the new operating model used between 2002 and 2004. The first objective was to design and implement the curriculum using Integrative Action which continuously integrates the three statutory tasks of the universities of the applied sciences. The result of the first phase of the designing and implementation work was a competence-based core curriculum developed from 2004-2006 and implemented from 2006-2008. This study addresses the second design research cycle for des!
cribing and designing as well as implementing a revised instance of a competence-based core curriculum, namely; the thematic curriculum for the Degree Programme of Business Information Technology (BIT) 2008-2009 and Master of Business Administration studies in 2010.
