Continuing Education in General

You can study at Novia UAS without being enrolled as a degree student. You can try our UAS studies regardless of your previous education background or age as a way to start a new career, develop yourself, or find the training you need for working life.

We offer studies in Bioeconomy, Business, Culture and Arts, Technology and Seafaring, as well as Health and Welfare. We are located in Vaasa, Turku, Pietarsaari, and Raasepori. Many courses are also arranged as online studies, independent of location. Further information is found in the detailed course information.

Application

Registration for courses and modules takes place via our course offering page and each individual course/module. The right to study is granted in order of registration, unless otherwise is stated in the detailed course information.

The first step is for you to add the course to the shopping basket and create a user account in our registration system. The next step is to confirm your registration. Information on payment of the course fee comes by e-mail after the course has started. If you have second thoughts regarding participation, you can familiarise yourself with our cancellation terms on our website.

From Open UAS to Degree Studies

Once you have completed studies in Open UAS, you can apply for accreditation of your studies if you apply for and are admitted to degree studies in the same field of study at Novia UAS.

If you have completed Open UAS studies as path studies (Path or Flex Path), you have the opportunity to apply within a separate application based on having completed 30 credits. The separate application applies only to education given in Swedish- language.
