Successful completion of studies requires good English skills and some work experience. Most studies are completed online, but remember to check the study method from course descriptions. Timetables of the courses will be available before the enrollment starts.

Please note! Before you enroll for the studies, please read carefully the requirements for Master level studies at the Open UAS on the Enrolment Instructions.

Open Path Studies

Open path studies means a total of at least 30 credits in accordance with the study plan of degree studies. Open path studies completed with good grades give you the opportunity to apply as a degree student via open path application process without having an entrance exam. 

When applying for a Master’s degree, in addition to the required degree, you must also have the work experience required for eligibility for Master’s degree programs. To be eligible to apply an applicant must have an appropriate Bachelor’s or a higher degree and at least two years of subsequent work experience in a relevant field. More detailed instructions about the appropriate degree and work experience are available in each degree programme's information in StudyInfo.fi

Open path studies can be completed in 1-2 semesters. You can choose from Master's level open path studies in the fields of business, information technology and aviation business.

Compose your open path for Master´s level studies (total 30 ECTS) by completing two open path study modules: 

Open Path for Master´s level studies: Common Studies, 15 ECTS 

AND choose one of the specialization study modules (15 ECTS) listed below:

Leading Business Transformation
Digitalisation and ICT Management
Sustainable Aviation Business
 
We recommend that you start with common studies and then proceed to specialization studies. If you wish, you can also proceed in the reverse order, as there are no prerequisites for the courses. Complete the open path (min. 30 ECTS) required for open path application flexibly over one or more semesters. 

If you want to complete your studies (30 ECTS) in one semester, please enroll simultaneously for common studies (15 ECTS) and for your chosen specialization studies (15 ECTS). Please note! Completing 30 ECTS in one semester corresponds to full-time study. 

Master´s level Courses

If your goal is to update the skills you need in working life without aiming for a degree, studying Master's level courses is probably the most suitable option for you. You find the courses in the Open UAS education search

If you wish, you can later apply via open path application process to become a degree student based on the studies you have completed, provided that you have completed your studies with good academic success (GPA minimum 3,00) and the completed studies are suitable for the degree you are applying for.
