Note! Open Studies are not full-time studies and do not lead to a degree or professional qualification. It is therefore not possible to get a long-term student residence permit to Finland based on Open UAS courses.

After choosing the courses and adding them to your shopping cart, you must identify yourself in the enrollment service using Suomi.fi e-Identification with either Finnish banking codes, a mobile certificate, hightrust.id application, or a certificate card. If you have none of the above, please contact avoinamklab [dot] fi (avoinamk[at]lab[dot]fi)

Enrollment is binding once the course fee has been paid. If you cancel your enrollment or interrupt your studies, the tuition fees paid will not be refunded.
