New Student via Open Study Path

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

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.

Notice that you need to accept the study place by 14 Julyr 2023, 3 p.m. at the latest. If one has not accepted the study place by the deadline the study place is cancelled and given for the first person on the waiting list.

Notice that you can only accept one study place for autumn 2023.

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 enrol for attendance or non-attendance by  14 July 2023, 3 pm you will lose the study place.

If you are going to enroll for non-attendance, you need to provide a document that states a valid reason. The document must be delivered to Jamk Student Services by 14 July 2023, 3 pm. 

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.

If you are selected as a Bachelor's Degree student:

The required studies (at least 55 ECTS credits) must be registered to Peppi system by 20 June 2023 if you have completed your studies at Jamk Open. If you have completed open studies in another Finnish open UAS, you have sent the copy of your transcript by 31 May 2023.

A new legislation concerning tuition fees came into effect in Finland 1st of January 2016. Therefore, higher education institutions are obliged to charge tuition fees for those students who are not citizens of countries of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). The legislation concerns degree programmes taught in English.

New UK degree students who arrive in Finland after the 31st of December 2020 are liable to full tuition fee and residence permit requirements like other non-EU/EEA students.

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

The following document exempts students of paying tuition fees:

• a Finnish passport or a passport of any other EU/EEA country
• Continuous residence permit card in Finland (type A permit)
• Permanent residence permit card in Finland (type P permit)
• EU residence permit for third-country citizens with long-term residence card in Finland (Type P-EU)
• EU Blue Card in Finland
• EU Family Member's Residence Card in Finland
• Proof from the Finnish Immigration Services that the student has registered, or applied for registration for EU right to residence in Finland (UK-citizens)
• Brexit residence permit card, Type TEU agreement's 50 article = Right of residence under the withdrawal agreement, or P TEU-agreement's 50 article = Right of permanent residence under the withdrawal agreement

If you hold one of the documents, send us a copy of it as soon as possible. Thus, if you have one of these cards you do not need to pay the tuition fee! We will check the original document in the beginning of studies. If you are in the process of receiving one of these cards, please inform us about that as well. If you start your studies in the autumn semester the card must be valid on 1st of August and it must be presented by 31st August to be exempted from paying the tuition fee. In the spring semester the card must be valid on 1st of January and it must be presented by 31st January to be exempted from paying the tuition fee. Notice, if you receive one of the documents at any point of your studies, please inform your Study Affairs Coordinator immediately, then you are exempted from paying the tuition fees starting from the following semester.

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 as a degree student will become valid in the beginning of the academic term.

If you have completed your open UAS’s studies at Jamk and you have an active study entitlement, your user credentials do not change. New user code is formed if your previous user code is expired.
