The courses offered through FITech are available for all Finns and people permanently living in Finland. You need a Finnish personal identity code and Finnish e-identification (e.g. online banking access codes) to apply.
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.
Adult learners
Some courses are only open for adult learners. You are an adult learner if you are not currently studying for a degree in a Finnish university or university of applied sciences. If you are, for example, working, unemployed, high school/vocational school student, doctoral student in a university, or outside the workforce, apply as an adult learner.
