Who can take these courses?
1. Students of Asia Network’s member universities
Students who are actively enrolled in a member university of the Asia Network can take the courses free of charge and receive study credits.
The member universities are:
University of Jyväskylä
University of Tampere
University of Turku
+ Tampere University of Applied Sciences (through University of Tampere’s membership)
+ Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences (through University of Jyväskylä’s membership)
2. Other students
a) As an external self-paying student of the Asia Network (University of Turku).
You can apply for the courses as an external self-paying student by paying a fee of 250 euros for the minor study right (up to 25 ECTS). After successful completion of courses, you will receive study credits. To do this, you must first fill the Asia Network application form and the application form for non-degree studies. Once you have received the acceptance letter, pay the study fee before the courses start in order to receive the registration codes for the courses.
For Master’s level courses, sufficient background knowledge of the course subjects is required. Self-paid students must demonstrate that they have the necessary background knowledge, either through studies or work experiences.
b) Through Open University at the University of Turku
Some of the Asia Network courses organized by the Centre for East Asian Studies of the University of Turku can be taken through the Open University of Turku. After successful completion of courses, you will receive study credits. The Open University has its own, separate application process, criteria and fees. For more information, please visit this page.
c) Free open MOOC-courses
The 3 credit part of the Bachelor’s level MOOC-courses are open and free of charge for everyone. Course areas can be accessed during the course period via DigiCampus platform by logging into the course with your Google or HAKA account. Independently enrolled students will receive a certificate from the DigiCampus platform after completing the course, but they will NOT receive credits.
Decisions
Once your application has been processed, you will receive a message about the decision. This will come a few weeks after the application period has ended. If you are accepted to the course, you will receive a welcoming email on the first day of the course, and gain access to the course site in the Moodle. The welcome email comes to the address you have given in the application form. It may go to the spam or offers-folder of your email (at least gmail tends to do it), so check those folders too.
Welcome to study Asia at Asianet!
