Cross-institutional studies

Turku UAS has agreed with other Finnish higher education institutions on different cross-institutional study networks, in which students can participate. Both universities of applied sciences and universities offer cross-institutional studies. In principle, the networks are field-specific, which means that students from different fields have different course selections within cross-institutional studies.

You can find the studies of the cross-institutional networks in your own study information system Peppi.

The CampusOnline network is free of charge for degree and path students from partner universities. Enrolment for courses at Turku UAS is done in the student’s own study management system (Peppi/Pakki).

The separate CampusOnline portal will close on 31.12.2024

Between Turku UAS and the University of Turku, it is possible to study individual courses with flexible study rights. A student of UTU who is in attendance and has a degree right can be admitted to study at the Turku UAS. Flexible study rights are applied by filling the University of Turku’s online application form.

Instructions for students at the University of Turku:

• You can find the study programmes offered by Turku UAS in the study guide. Not all courses are granted flexible study rights, so before filling in the application form, check with the responsible teacher (or the Head of Education and Research) whether the course will accept students with flexible study rights.
  
• The application for flexible study rights is continuous. Please apply well before of the start of the course to allow time for both institutions to process your application. You should reserve about a month for the application process.
  
• If the application is approved by the home university (UTU), the application is then submitted to be processed by the Head of Education and Research at Turku UAS. The student will be notified by e-mail about the progress of the application and possible requests for additional information.
  
• If the Head of Education and Research approves the right to study for the course in question, the right to study and the student’s details are entered in Turku UAS’ student administration system Peppi. The student will be registered by the Student Office to the course for which the study right has been granted. The student will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to create a Turku UAS user account and log in to the learning environment.
  

For Turku UAS students, instructions on how to apply for a course at the University of Turku can be found on Messi.

In order to enroll as a cross-institutional student at Turku UAS, you must have a valid study right in your home university and you must also be registered as an attending student. If your study right at your home university ends before the end of your studies at Turku UAS, your right to study at Turku UAS will also end.

Register for CampusOnline network courses via your home university’s Peppi/Pakki. For courses in other networks, please follow the instructions given by your teacher. Students of the University of Turku enroll for individual courses according to the instructions in the section flexible study rights between Turku UAS and the UTU.

Courses usually have a quota for cross-institutional students. So please register well in advance to ensure that you are able to participate.

Cancellation of registration

If you have to cancel your participation in a course, you can cancel your enrolment yourself at Peppi/Pakki during the enrolment period. After the enrolment deadline, please contact the Student Office.

The learning environment used is Itslearning. You log in to the learning environment with your Turku UAS user ID.

See the course description for information on the content and assessment methods. The course description also indicates whether the course is online or requires on-campus attendance. You will follow the instructions given by the teacher and the rules of the Turku UAS. Feedback will be collected at the end of the course.

The teacher assesses the course and enters the grade in the Turku UAS’ study information system Peppi. The grade is automatically transferred to your home university’s Peppi/Pakki.

Students who are dissatisfied with the assessment of their coursework, can lodge a rectification request either orally or in writing from the teacher who carried out the assessment. The rectification request shall be lodged within 14 days of the date on which the information about the grades or the application of the assessment criteria to the student’s study attainment became accessible to the student. (Universities of Applied Sciences Act 932/2014, Section 57.) If you are still dissatisfied with the above-mentioned decision, you may submit a written rectification request to the Board of Examiners within 14 days of receipt of the information on the decision.  

The free-form request for rectification to the Board of Examiners is addressed to the Board of Examiners at Turku UAS and it shall be submitted to the registry of Turku UAS: Joukahaisenkatu 3, 20520 Turku.
