Applying to FITech courses

About FITech studies

You can choose courses from one or several FITech network university’s host universities and apply for a study right with one form. Course-specific application deadlines and information about the FITech student quotas can be found on each course’s own course page. If the course you have chosen includes attendance on campus, please check the schedule. The Opin.fi service and fitech.io site’s application deadlines can differ.

To apply and confirm the study place you need a Finnish personal identity code and Finnish strong e-identification.

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)

Some FITech courses are scheduled and others are continuously on-going. Some are MOOC courses that can be studied online without applying for a study right. Read more about MOOC courses.

Choose an adult learner or a degree student application form.

You are an adult learner if

  • You are not currently studying for a bachelor’s or master’s degree at a Finnish higher education institution. If you are e.g. employed, unemployed, second-degree student (high school or vocational school), doctoral student, open university student or outside workforce, please apply as an adult learner.
  • You are considered a degree student when you have a right to study a degree in a Finnish higher education institution or if you have enrolled as absent or work full time.
  • Doctoral student: If the course is organised by your home university, register for the course in the your own university’s registration system, not through FITech.

You are a degree student if

  • You are currently studying for a bachelor’s or master’s degree at a Finnish higher education institute (university or university of applied sciences). You are considered a degree student also if you have enrolled as absent. If you are studying at the Open university, you are not a degree student.
  • If the course is organised by your home university, register for the course in the your own university’s registration system, not through FITech.
  • Please note: Degree students who study in higher education institutions that have joined FITech’s teaching cooperation agreement can apply for FITech courses in Studyinfo. See the list of institutions whose degree students can apply.
  • Please note: Degree students apply for some courses via the cross-institutional study service (RIPA). Read more about RIPA.
