In 2022, a total of 36,755 credits were completed at Jamk Open Studies and cooperative studies at the secondary level, which are also implemented through Open Studies. The accumulation falls short of the record year 2021 by around 5,000 credits, but is the second best result at Jamk of all time. In the national comparison, Jamk was the fifth largest. Nationally, the number of achievements in open higher education decreased from the previous year in both the university of applied sciences and the university sector. For the second year in a row, open universities of applied sciences achieved higher than open universities in terms of performance.

In Jamk, among the units, the biggest result was made by the School of Technology, and among the education sectors, by field of health and well-being. The most credits were still made in study paths (bachelor's level), but more and more credits are also accumulated from study modules, individual courses, and studies aimed at secondary level students. The cooperation of the secondary level was also visible in the student profile: the largest age group of students were under 19 years old.

The most popular studies in 2022 were "Work ability coordinator" and "Digital specialist" modules. In addition to these, a considerable number of accomplishments were accumulated in the study path of nursing, in the ICT field studies and with the Innoflash course.
