Open University Of Applied Science

Xamk Pulse’s Open University of Applied Sciences studies do not require an application process. Therefore, anyone can enroll in our courses and start their studies. Enrollment is done through the ‘Enrol’ button in the course details on our training calendar.

For some courses, there may be prerequisites related to prior qualifications or skills. If there are any prerequisites, they will be specified in the course details.

In the Path studies starting in 2025, student selection is based on the points obtained from the motivation study module.

For smooth progress in higher education studies, it’s beneficial to be proficient in using a computer and, in some cases, common office software like Word. Our user-friendly online learning environment is based on Moodle, known as Learn.

In more extensive study contexts, you’ll need information retrieval skills and proficiency in citing sources. Xamk’s library services provide a comprehensive electronic guide on referencing and source citation.

We recommend using either a desktop computer or a laptop for your studies. Some courses may involve task types that cannot be completed on a tablet or smartphone.

While Xamk Pulse’s studies are at the university level, it’s essential to recognize that study readiness and skills develop over time, even if they may require some initial practice.

Studies cost EUR 12-45 / credit or semester fee EUR 175. We also have many courses free of charge.

Xamk Pulse studies offer flexible learning opportunities for those who want to combine education with work. These studies are primarily conducted online, allowing you to complete them regardless of time or location.

From a wide range of educational offerings, you can choose the right amount of studies for yourself, often starting at a convenient time. For example, courses that start nonstop allow you to begin within about a week of registration.

The extent and workload of studies are described in ECTS credits. One ECTS credit corresponds to approximately 27 hours of student work. The actual workload can vary significantly based on factors like the student’s prior education, work history, and general study skills. Remember that Xamk Pulse studies are at the university level, so having good IT skills is essential for participation.

Teachers record assessments in the Peppi information system no later than one month after the end date of the study module. If the study module is ongoing nonstop, the teacher will announce the assessment dates on the Learn platform for that module.
