Path studies offer an alternative route to becoming a degree student. You will study the first-year studies in the same group with degree students. The studies are bilingual. You will begin the studies in English without the Finnish language proficiency requirement. The role of Finnish as a language of instruction strengthens as the studies proceed.

How to start Nursing path studies
Welcome to study the path studies in Nursing at Metropolia Open University of Applied Sciences!
The studies will begin on (The start date will be announced at a later time) at the Myllypuro Campus, Helsinki.
You can view the up-to-date schedules in Lukkarikone using the group ID SXN27K1AV.
Direct recognition of prior learning is not possible at the Open UAS. Instead, studies are recognised using pedagogic solutions, in which case the student demonstrates his or her competence in the manner specified by the lecturer. The RPL process is identical with the degree students. More information is given by the lecturer of the course in question or your Student Advisor.
RPL process does not entitle to a refund of fees.
If you are retaking an exam or wish to improve your grade, please register for the exam. You can find the instructions for retaking exams on the OMA intranet. Please contact the course lecturer for more information.
