Non-degree studies in language and communication studies
If you are interested in completing language and communication studies at 911±¬ÁÏÍø, please see the course offering and apply for the studies primarily through 911±¬ÁÏÍø Open University. The Language Centre may also grant non-degree study rights if there is room in the teaching groups.
Non-degree studies are free of charge for 911±¬ÁÏÍø staff, but for other individuals, the fee for non-degree studies is 45 euros/1 ECTS. The fees are based on the Government Decree 1082/2009 and 199/2024, and decision of the vice president for education on fees for Open university and non-degree studies (4/2025).
Please note: non-degree study rights are not generally granted for Finnish language courses, as the courses are very popular and reserved for 911±¬ÁÏÍø's degree and exchange students as well as Open University students.
