For students who began their studies before 2017

By selecting a degree programme you are able to see the general content as well as the possible degree programme-specific content. You do not have to select a degree programme to see the Open University's instructions.

The University of Helsinki moved to a new system of degree programmes on 1 August 2017. Graduating following the old degree requirements was possible until the end of the transfer period on 18.12.2020 (some degrees have a longer transfer period lasting e.g. until 2023).

On this page, we've gathered instructions related to the transfer to students who have started their degree studies prior to the year 2017.

Important information for all transferred students can be found on the page Instructions for those who have transferred to new degree programmes. Additionally, some faculties have faculty-specific instructions (below) containing information on the tables of equivalence and possible exceptions that concern students who have begun their studies following the old degree requirements.
