All Finnish universities are part of the Flexible Study Rights Agreement (JOO), which provides graduate and post-graduate students the opportunity to include courses from other Finnish universities in their degrees.

Flexible studies (JOO) are free of charge for students. Students need to be enrolled and registered as attending at their home universities in order to be able to be eligible to apply for flexible study rights and to complete studies at another university.

More information about flexible study opportunities offered by the universities, application instructions and the link to the application form is available in JOOPAS wiki.
