The quality and standard of Open University courses are equivalent to those of university courses taught at LUT. Individual faculties are responsible for course contents.

Some courses may require prior studies. These are specified in the course details. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that he or she is able to complete the course.

Studying at Open University is self-directed and, as a rule, in accordance with the university's timetable. There are very few separate evening or weekend classes. There are four teaching periods during the academic year: two in the autumn term and two in the spring term. On the eLUT website you find for example the schedule of the university's academic year and the examination schedule.

Course fee is €15 per credit. The total fee depends on the total number of credits of the course. For example, the fee of a six ECTS credit course is €90 (VAT 0 %).

The registration is binding. If the registration is cancelled during the registration period, the fee will be refunded. If the registration is cancelled after the registration period, the fee will no longer be refunded. Cancellations must be made in writing to avoinyliopisto@lab.fi.

When you have found the courses you want in Sisu, you can register for the courses in LUT Shop. See the teaching and application periods below.

See Products/Tuotteet > Avoin yliopisto.

Note! The registration form will open at the beginning of the registration period at 8 am.

Late registrations will not be accepted. The places in Open University are allocated on a first come first serve basis.

A confirmation letter will be sent by email approximately one week before the start of the course.
