Opin.fi is for anyone interested in open university studies
Opin.fi is the joint service of Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences where open studies are within an easy reach. The service makes it easier for you to find open studies that suit you among Finnish higher education institutions’ large selection.
The service is designed to help anyone who wants to develop their competence at different life stages. The service offers studies in different fields and forms, without requiring prior university studies.
University of Vaasa offers new courses on Sustainable Energy Technologies, Strategic Business Development, and Content Marketing
The University of Vaasa is introducing its open university offerings to the new Opin.fi service. As a novelty, we offer new online showroom courses:
- Sustainable Energy Technologies: Introduction
- Introduction to Strategic Business Development
- Content Marketing Strategy
Our entire open university offerings will available on the Opin.fi service, and later, FITech studies in the field of technology will also be added. The course offerings in the service will increase throughout the spring as the courses for the academic year 2025–2026 are added. Registration for the open university courses for the upcoming academic year will begin on 13 August 2025.
Opin.fi helps you find and compare studies
In Opin.fi, you can browse and compare the higher education institutions’ extensive offer of studies in one place. The ten themes of the service are a compilation of interesting studies on topical themes, including sustainable development, new technologies and transforming working life.
Identified users can view the higher education studies they have completed previously in the service. It also allows you to save interesting study options for later. Actual enrolment takes place in the universities’ own services.
Continuous development and expanding offer of studies
Opin.fi has been developed together with all Finnish higher education institutions and future service users, and its development will also continue after the service has been launched. Future plans include introducing smart recommendations. This means that the service will recommend interesting content to the learner based on their information.
The offer of studies is also constantly living and developing. As the service opens in April 2025, 29 Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences are in. The goal is that by the end of the year, the open studies of 37 higher education institutions taught in Finnish, Swedish and English, both as contact teaching and distance learning, can be found in the service. The Digivision 2030 project is responsible for building the service, and it is operated by HigherEd Hub Finland Oy.
