Open Programming and Database Courses at the Open Higher Education

Open Programming and Database Courses 5 - 28 ECTS credits - training for those receiving temporary protection

This training provides you with the opportunity to complete 5 - 28 ECTS credits of online courses. The studies are first-year studies in the Bachelor’s degree programme in ICT. You can enroll only to one course or several, depending on your own needs and interests. The courses are free of charge for the participants.

The studies are intended for those receiving temporary protection in Finland, but anyone with ability to study in English at a higher education level is welcome. The studies require knowledge of English at proficiency level B1 or above.

After completing courses, you can ask for a transcript of records from both institutions and a certificate or diploma of the courses you have completed. The studies can later be recognized and included in higher education studies in either Finland or abroad. The certificate is also an excellent way to demonstrate your expertise in programming to future employers.

These new courses are provided in cooperation between the University of Turku and Turku University of Applied Sciences.

The training is funded by Ministry of Education and Culture, Finland.
