For Secondary Education Students

For whom: Secondary school students

Price: Free of charge

Content: The courses offer a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the degrees in social and health care, technology, business administration and culture according to your choice. The scope of the courses is 1-5 credits.

With our courses, you can gain confidence in your education choice, stay updated on trends in various fields, and uncover your strengths. You could collaborate with your school advisor to explore the option to integrate your Open University studies into your upper secondary degree. Furthermore, if you successfully apply and enroll as a degree student at Metropolia UAS, you can transfer your Open University studies to count towards your university degree.

For whom: Secondary students. The path studies are intended for students of Metropolia's cooperative educational institutions. Studies are always agreed in advance with your own educational institution.

Content: The path studies give secondary school students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with university of applied sciences studies and deepen their knowledge in the study field. Studying is diverse and flexible: in classroom and online teaching, which includes practical exercises and group work. The scope, content and implementation of the pathway studies varies depending on the degree programme. In bachelor's degrees, the scope of path studies is generally 30-60 credits.

After completion of the path studies: With the studies completed in the open UAS path, you can apply for a Metropolia degree student in the separate application “Application on the Basis of Metropolia’s Open UAS Studies”. If you have been admitted a study right as a degree student, your path studies will be accepted as part of your degree studies and you will continue your studies smoothly with the group. Please note, however, that completing path studies does not automatically guarantee admission as a degree student in a separate application.

Available path studies: currently offered only in Finnish
