There are 13 pedagogical principles at Jamk that describe how learning, teaching, and guidance are put into practice.

Ethical principles affect everyday life, study and teaching, research, development and innovation (RDI) and business. All of these areas may also apply to a student. Ethical competence is a common, general working life competence of university of applied sciences students that the student must know and understand. Disregard and misconduct (e.g. plagiarism or cheating in an exam) also lead to sanctions. The Ethics Committee of Jamk promotes the implementation of ethical principles in the university’s activities. Jamk's ethical principles describe the operating methods in accordance with good scientific practice, as well as the procedural guidelines used to deal with unethical activities (disregard and misconduct).

The guidance provided by Jamk supports students in completing their degree, gaining employment, and in developing lifelong career skills. The principles of guidance are applied in all Jamk units and courses and apply to all students and staff.

Student Union JAMKO supports students in questions of equality, non-discrimination and ethical principles and makes sure that students are treated equally. If you experience discriminating behaviour in school, first thing to do, is to discuss about the matter with the person in question. If you have questions or problems regarding equality and barrier free learning you are supported by JAMKO's trusteeship responsible in social policy.
