Content (course unit)

Studies consist of first year studies of the degree programme.

You will study full time in the degree programme´s student group. Open UAS students are reserved two (2) study places in the group.

The enrollment will start on 2 August at 9 am and end on 3 August at 11.59 pm. If there are still study places left after the enrollment period ends, the period may be continued. Places are filled on a first come, first served basis and registration is done in our online store.

The fee for the open path studies is 300 euros. You pay 150 € when enrolling and 150 € will be invoiced in September.

Path studies in English require good oral and written English language skills.

The fee for the first year is the same for all students. If you apply to become a degree student and are not an EU/EEA student, you will have a tuition fee like all the other non-EU/EEA –students.

Degree application and student selection
You can apply for admission to the degree programme based on your Open UAS studies. If you start path studies in the autumn 2023, you will be able to apply to become a degree student in the application on the basis of Open UAS studies in studyinfo.fi in May 2024.
Student selection is made considering your completed amount of credit points and study success. Study success means the GPA of the studies completed during your Open UAS Path Studies. If necessary, students are placed in order by their GPA (highest to lowest).
Required amount of credit points in bacheror’s degrees is 50 and has to be completed by 31 July 2024.
Student Benefits
Open UAS students do not receive Kela’s financial aid for students or any other student benefits. If you are a customer of TE Services, you should check your study right with them before signing up for Open UAS studies.

The fee for the first year is the same for all students. If you apply to become a degree student and are not an EU/EEA student, you will have a tuition fee like all the other non-EU/EEA –students.

Degree application and student selection
You can apply for admission to the degree programme based on your Open UAS studies. If you start path studies in the autumn 2023, you will be able to apply to become a degree student in the application on the basis of Open UAS studies in studyinfo.fi in May 2024.
Student selection is made considering your completed amount of credit points and study success. Study success means the GPA of the studies completed during your Open UAS Path Studies. If necessary, students are placed in order by their GPA (highest to lowest).
Required amount of credit points in bacheror’s degrees is 50 and has to be completed by 31 July 2024.
Student Benefits
Open UAS students do not receive Kela’s financial aid for students or any other student benefits. If you are a customer of TE Services, you should check your study right with them before signing up for Open UAS studies.
