Who can apply?

FITech offers versatile studies for different needs and target groups.

Some courses are targeted for degree students of Finnish universities, while others are only available for adult learners (graduates and company representatives) who are currently not studying at any higher education institution in Finland (a university or a university of applied sciences).

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

The majority of the courses are available for all applicants in Finland. 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.

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. If you do not have the online banking access code, you need to confirm your identity by visiting the university organising the studies. To do this, please contact the FITech coordinator of said university. You can find all the contact information here!

Minor

A study module that is designed to form a minor suitable for university degrees. A minor can have a combination of compulsory and optional courses, of which you can compose an entity suitable to your degree. A minor is usually 20 or 25 ECTS credits. It is also possible to take only an individual course from a minor if you have the necessary prerequisites. Please check with the responsible teacher of the minor first whether your prerequisite knowledge is suitable to complete the course. At all situations, you need to negotiate in your own university how to include the course or a minor in your degree.
