Teaching methods

In Finnish 3, your goal is to extend your knowledge in basic Finnish and learn to describe where and when something happens. To support this goal, you will have regular classroom meetings with the teacher. In addition to this, you are expected to do independent work outside the classroom.

To show your progress in the course, you need to take part in two course exams (mid exam and final exam).

Learning materials

You will need a physical or digital copy of Suomen mestari 2 (2022, the one with a yellowish background). We will study the chapters 1-4.

You can find a copy of Suomen mestari 2, for example, in an online store, local library in Tampere, or online marketplace (e.g., Tori.fi).

Student workload

You will have 2 x 1,5 h course meetings every week. In addition to this, you are expected to do independent study work 2-5 hours a week. The independent work can include, for example, home work, course assignments, discussions with local people, and use of language learning apps.

Notice that it can be difficult – if not impossible – to pass the course without any independent work. Course meetings are more like an introduction to the study topics while you will extend your knowledge with independent work.

The enrollment will start on 1 August at 9 am and end on 2 August at 11.59 pm. If there are still study places left after the enrollment period ends, the period may be continued. Places are filled on a first-come-first-serve basis and registration is done in our online store.

The fee for the open path studies is 300 euros and it is paid when enrolling.

Path studies in English require good oral and written English language skills.

The fee for the first year is the same for all students. If you apply to become a degree student and are not an EU/EEA student, you will have a tuition fee like all the other non-EU/EEA –students.

Degree application and student selection

You can apply for admission to the degree programme based on your Open UAS studies. If you start path studies in the autumn 2024, you will be able to apply to become a degree student in the application on the basis of Open UAS studies in studyinfo.fi in May 2025.
Student selection is made considering your completed amount of credit points and study success. Study success means the GPA of the studies completed during your Open UAS Path Studies. If necessary, students are placed in order by their GPA (highest to lowest).
Required amount of credit points (Bachelor in International Business 50 cr) has to be completed by 31 July 2025.
Student Benefits
Open UAS students do not receive Kela’s financial aid for students or any other student benefits. If you are a customer of TE Services, you should check your study right with them before signing up for Open UAS studies.
