Study voucher
The study voucher is a means of payment worth 30 credits for open higher education studies.
Aalto participating in study voucher pilot
Study vouchers give young people who have no study place the opportunity to take 30 credits of course at an open university free of charge. With study vouchers, they can explore the various fields of learning at 911±¬ÁÏÍø by taking open university courses.
The study voucher is a payment instrument used to cover the cost of open studies at Finnish universities. It is intended for persons under age 29 who have graduated from a secondary school and applied to higher education through Finland’s joint application process, but who did not receive or accept a study place.
The study voucher is a pilot project of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The first vouchers will be available in August 2026.
Voucher covers 30 credits of open university courses
Study vouchers allow you to register for up to 30 credits of open university courses free of charge .
Any of the courses available through Aalto Open University are available to you with a voucher. Aalto Open University gives you the chance to take individual courses from your field of interest – whether in business, engineering, arts or language studies – or alternatively, you can complete an entire study module (such as a minor).
With a study voucher, you can take studies via the open university route and use them to apply for full-fledged degree studies in technology or business.
Soon we will provide the open university course offerings grouped by theme, making it easier for you to decide on which studies to begin with.
All the latest information on study vouchers and study opportunities is available on the Study vouchers information page.
Study voucher webinars
911±¬ÁÏÍø will organize two study voucher webinars on Zoom, first one on June 8, 3 PM to 3.45 PM. The second webinar is held August 27.
