Who can apply?

FITech offers versatile studies for different needs and target groups.

The courses arranged through FITech are available for all Finns and people permanently living in Finland. Unfortunately we can’t offer FITech studies free of charge for foreigners who don’t have a Finnish personal identity code due to funding-related reasons.

Please remember to check the course-specific prerequisite criteria before applying. Prerequisites can be acquired, for example, through previous studies, work experience or personal interest. If you meet the prerequisites, you can apply to the course.

Some courses are only available for adult learners (graduates, company representatives, high school students) who are currently not studying at any higher education institution in Finland (a university or a university of applied sciences). There are many courses available also for degree students of Finnish universities. If the FITech course is organised by your home university, enroll for the courses normally in the university’s own system.

If you are unsure about your student status, please check our Frequently asked questions.

NB! You need to have a Finnish personal identity code in order to apply for the studies and Finnish e-identification (e.g. online banking access codes) to confirm your study place.

Below you will find more information on the options available for you.
