Open programming and database courses – training for those receiving temporary protection | 1–28 cr

These Open programming and database courses are provided in cooperation between Turku University of Applied Sciences and the University of Turku.

This training provides you with the opportunity to complete 1–28 ECTS credits of online courses. The studies are first-year studies of a bachelor’s degree programme in ICT. You can enrol on one course or several, depending on your own need and interest. Please note: 1 ECTS credit = 27 hours of student’s work.

These studies are intended for those receiving temporary protection in Finland, but anyone with an 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 the courses of your choice, you can request a transcript of records from both institutions. 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.

The training is funded by Ministry of Education and Culture, Finland. All courses in the programme are free of charge.
