Current information is about route studies during the academic year 2021-2022. Information for the academic year 2022-2023 will be updated in June 2022. Application period for Master's route studies in the academic year 2022-2023 is 1.7.-14.7.2022.
The aim of the open university route studies is to facilitate the student’s access to a full degree programme at a later time. Students applying for degree programmes from the open university route are required to have a Bachelor’s-level degree in a suitable field of study. Applicants must prove their eligibility and send in their degree certificate with necessary attachments as they apply for route studies. The faculty checks that these preceding studies are acceptable before students are admitted for the route studies.
Applications for MSc studies on the open university route are open for the period of 1 July – 14 July 2021. Only applications received during the application period will be reviewed.
All courses must be completed during a single academic year. Students on the MSc route can apply for the right to study in the degree programme their route studies have followed. A student may be admitted for degree studies after completing the route studies in the required schedule and according to the requirements of the degree programme. Please note that the credits should be visible in the student register on 15 June 2022 in order to be taken into account.
