The University of Helsinki is increasing the number of student places offered through the open university route in its bachelor\u2019s programmes, said the University in a press release on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
In the coming years, 10% of places in these programmes will be allocated to applicants who have previously completed open university studies. In many disciplines, this is already the case. <\/p>\n
\u201cExperience has shown that students admitted through the open university route are motivated and committed to their studies. They already have a realistic understanding of university studies, and many have completed parts of their degrees before becoming degree students,\u201d said Jenni Krapu, Head of Services of the University of Helsinki. <\/p>\n
The open university route currently serves as a channel to almost 30\u202fbachelor\u2019s programmes at the University of Helsinki on the basis of completed open university studies. One of the latest additions is the Bachelor\u2019s Programme in Pharmacy. <\/p>\n
The most popular options available through the open university route include the Bachelor\u2019s Programme in Law; the Bachelor\u2019s Programme in Politics, Media and Communication; the Bachelor\u2019s Programme in Society and Change; and the Bachelor\u2019s Programme in Social Research. <\/p>\n
Open university education is organised both online and on campus. Openly available courses can also be completed during the summer teaching period. <\/p>\n
Admissions criteria vary by degree programme. The required scope of completed studies is usually 25 to 60 credits, and consideration is usually also given to academic performance. <\/p>\n
The spring 2027 criteria for the open university route will be published in Studyinfo by the end of October 2026, the press release added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The University of Helsinki is increasing the number of student places offered through the open university route in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117384,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[87],"tags":[6692,6690,6671,6657,6669,6655,6635,649,6678,3208,6639,6681,6637,4625,6699,6676,307,2766,6688,6697,6647,6703,6645,6706,6695,6622,6621,4029,158,6642,6646,6684,6643,1958,3928,6644,6662,6640,113,6652,6641,6648,6668,1187,5638,5246,6674,6673,6654,6629,6670,6659,6665,6667,6687,6628,6658,6682,6685,6630,6694,6666,6677,6698,4694,306,6620,6664,6701,4559,6702,6636,6686,6700,6704,6625,3926,6633,6634,6680,6632,6626,6653,4177,6631,1884,305,6705,6651,6693,3485,6638,6707,6696,6689,6660,6683,6656,6619,132,6623,6691,6679,6011,6624,6672,6649,6627,6663,6650,6661,6675],"class_list":["post-117383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-helsinki","tag-100-years-of-independence","tag-7-up","tag-aamulehti","tag-alexandar-stubb","tag-anne-barner","tag-antti-rinne","tag-arcktikum","tag-arctic","tag-arctic-business-forum","tag-arctic-circle","tag-arctic-light-hotel","tag-asylum-seekers","tag-aurora-borealis","tag-baltic-sea","tag-bus","tag-business-oulu","tag-centre-party","tag-christmas","tag-cococola","tag-cumlus-hotel","tag-daily-finland","tag-denmark-nordea-bank","tag-df","tag-dunsken-bank","tag-easter-holiday","tag-english-language-news-from-finland","tag-english-news-from-finland","tag-finavia","tag-finland","tag-finland-times","tag-finland-today","tag-finlandia","tag-finlandtimes","tag-finnair","tag-finnish-government","tag-ftimes","tag-green-league","tag-helsingin-sanomat","tag-helsinki","tag-helsinki-airport","tag-helsinki-times","tag-helsinki-university","tag-hridi-hautala","tag-ice","tag-ice-hockey","tag-ikea","tag-ilta-lehti","tag-ilta-sanomat","tag-juha-sipila","tag-jyvaskyla","tag-kaleva","tag-kansallinen-kokoomus","tag-kemi","tag-kittila","tag-koff","tag-kokkola","tag-kokoomus","tag-lapin-kansa","tag-lapin-kulta","tag-lapland","tag-lapland-hotels","tag-levi","tag-malmi","tag-metro","tag-microsoft","tag-national-coalition-party","tag-news-from-finland","tag-nokia","tag-norden","tag-nordic","tag-norsen","tag-northern-light","tag-olvi","tag-onnibus","tag-op-bank","tag-oulu","tag-petteri-orpo","tag-poro","tag-porocup","tag-refugees","tag-rendeer","tag-rovaniemi","tag-rovaniemi-airport","tag-santa","tag-santa-claus","tag-sauli-niinisto","tag-sdp","tag-shampoo-bank","tag-silja-lines","tag-ski-holiday","tag-snow","tag-snow-hotel","tag-snowmobile","tag-sokos-hotel","tag-sprite","tag-suomen-keskusta","tag-suomen-kuvalehti","tag-suomen-sosialidemokraattinen-puolue","tag-suomi","tag-sweden","tag-tampere","tag-tom-of-finland","tag-tornio","tag-tram","tag-turku","tag-turun-sanomat","tag-university-of-finland","tag-vaasa","tag-vihrea-liitto","tag-viking-lines","tag-ville-matti-niinisto","tag-yle"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
