New Student via Open University Route

You can accept the study place online on www.studyinfo.fi:

1. If you have Finnish banking codes you can accept the study place at studyinfo.fi. Just click “Go to My Studyinfo” to sign in with your banking codes to accept the study place and enrol as a student. The final deadline to accept the study place is 28 November 2024 at 3.00 p.m, otherwise the study place is cancelled.
2. If you do not have the Finnish National Identification Number you received an automatic email when the results were published, thus, you are able to enter studyinfo.fi via a link that you received in the email and accept the study place.
3. If there are any problems or you cannot enter studyinfo.fi (you do not have the banking codes or you did not receive the email mentioned above), please contact the Student Services as soon as possible (studentservices(at)jamk.fi). We can provide you a document which allows you to accept the study place via paper document.

According to one-place-per-student -provision, you may accept only one study place leading to a higher education degree in Finland during one academic term (1.8.-31.12. or 1.1.-31.7.).

Accepting a study place is a binding choice which cannot be canceled or changed later. When you accept a study place bindingly, all your other study programmes will automatically be cancelled. If you accept a study place for a degree programme starting in spring 2025 in Finland, you will no longer be considered a first-time applicant for study programmes that reserve places for first-time applicants.

After you have accepted the study place you also need to enroll attendance/non-attendance at studyinfo.fi. Students must enroll for attendance (=attending) or non-attendance (=absent). Only those enrolled for attendance have the right to register for courses and pursue the studies. If you do NOT enroll for attendance or non-attendance by  28 November 2024 at 3.00 p.m. you will lose the study entitlement.

If you are going to enroll for non-attendance, you need to provide a document that states a valid reason. The document must be submitted for Jamk Student Services by 28 November at 3.00 p.m. 

Note, in case you need to pay tuition fees (you are not an EU citizen and do not hold one of the exempting documents, such as a permanent residence in Finland), then you cannot enroll as a student before you have paid the tuition fee. Please check more information about the tuition fees below.

The required studies completed at Jamk Open UAS (at least 55 ECTS credits for bachelor's degrees or at least 20/30 ECTS credits for master's degrees) must be registered at Peppi by 20 December 2024. If you have completed open studies at another Finnish open UAS or university, attach a copy of your transcript of records to your Open Study Path application by 20 December 2024 by 3.00 p.m. 

Master's degree students: You have attached the copies of your certificates (bachelor's degree certificate and work certificates) to the application during the application period. Be prepared to present the original degree and work certificates at the Student Services in the beginning of your studies, if requested. If you fail to submit copies of your certificates or do not present the original certificates if requested or have given false or insufficient information concerning your certificates, your study place will be revoked.

The tuition fees of Jamk for NON-EU/EEA citizens are 9 000€ per academic year for Bachelor's Degrees taught in English and 10 000€ per academic year for Master's Degrees taught in English.

In the first academic year, a scholarship covers 40% of the tuition fee at Jamk. At Jamk a scholarship can be given only to such students who are required to pay tuition fees.

Your study entitlement begins as a degree student in the beginning of the academic term.

If you have completed your open UAS studies at Jamk and you have an active study entitlement, your username do not change. New username is created if your previous user name is expired. 

If you do not have active user name Jamk, read the Jamk network usage rules and instructions to active a username.

If you don't have Finnish bank codes, you will get separate instructions to verify your identity by Candour ID app. After successful identity verification, Jamk Student Services will send you the Jamk username by email.

You need the username for accessing to Elmo intranet. On Elmo, you can find new student’s site that includes information on important dates, times and places. Add Elmo to your bookmarks to see e.g. student news, events, and internships and job opportunities for students!

Please enroll as a degree student for courses, do not use your study entitlement for Jamk Open UAS. 

You will receive more information about the course enrollment from your tutor teacher in the beginning of studies.

The Open UAS Studies completed at Jamk Open UAS are transferred to your new transcript of records by Student Services during the beginning of the semester. In case you have completed Open Studies at other UAS, please discuss about the accreditation of the courses with your tutor teacher in the beginning of studies. There is no need to apply accreditation in eRPL.
