Yhteisöpedagogi (AMK), nuoriso- ja yhteisötyön tulevaisuudet ja hyvinvointi -polkuopinnot 60 op (päivätoteutus, HELSINKI)

Bachelor of Humanities, Wellbeing and the Futures of Youth and Community Work path studies consist of 60 ECTS credits of degree programme courses. For more information about the degree programme, visit our website. 

As a bachelor-level path student your goal is to complete 60 credits during one academic year. This means you have to commit to your studies full-time. Open UAS path students study in the same group with our first year degree students. Please note that as an open UAS student you can’t apply for KELA’s study grant. Only higher education degree students can get KELA’s study grant. Therefore, before registering for path studies, you should consider if studying full-time is financially possible for you. If you are planning path studies while you are unemployed, always contact your employment services first before registering for the studies. NB! Humak’s Open UAS studies are only available for students who have Finnish personal identity code.

Daytime studies include contact teaching days at the Helsinki campus on average 3–4 days per week. Days at campus usually start at 9.00 and end at 16.00. During your path studies, you can expect that approximately 1/2 of the time will be spent on classes/activities/practicing skills and 1/2 of the time will be spent on projects/independent studies/group assignments.
