No summer job or study place? The answer could be Opin.fi service

Many young people have found getting a summer job exceptionally hard this year, and the rapidly transforming labour market puts workers under pressure to update their competence. Opin.fi offers a wide range of open studies that you can take at your own pace and without entrance exams, choosing if you want to earn credits or not.

Many people left without a summer job or study place are now wondering what their next step should be. Haaga-Helia supports you in facing this challenge: we are part of the national Opin.fi campaign highlighting the possibilities offered by open studies offered by the Finnish higher education institutions. 

What is Opin.fi? 

Opin.fi is a digital service that for the first time ever displays the open studies offered by all Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences on a single site. This service is for anyone who wants to develop their competence – learn new skills, complement their education or have an introduction to higher education studies.

Opin.fi offers versatile opportunities:

  • Flexible forms of study: you can study in Finnish, Swedish and English, as contact teaching or distance learning, and choose anything from webinars to larger modules. You can also choose to earn credits or complete studies without them.
  • New career paths and opportunities for a new direction: support for those considering a career change or needing new skills in working life.
  • Update your competence or complement your education: flexible options for deepening or broadening your competence.
  • Open study opportunities for secondary level students: a low-threshold introduction to higher education studies before you apply to a degree programme.

The service allows you to browse a wide range of open studies and filter searches based on your needs (such as form of study, schedule, credits, topic area). When you find suitable studies, you can register for them directly in the institution's service. Digivisio 2030 project is responsible for building and developing the service, which is operated by HigherEd Hub Finland Oy.
