Professional Specialisation Studies

Professional Specialisation Studies are extensive further education programmes whose extent is mainly 30 or 60 credits. Professional Specialisation studies are intended for higher education undergraduates. They prepare students for post-graduate studies, complement a degree or enhance professional development. The studies do not lead to a higher education degree. They are so-called non-degree studies.

The access requirements for Professional Specialisation Studies are set individually by each university of applied sciences. Normally Bachelor's degree, work experience and/or earlier higher education studies are emphasised in the selection criteria. Please see further information on selection criteria.

Professional Specialisation Studies are available also for the undergraduate applicants from Oulu University of Applied Sciences' international partner institutions in the following non-degree studies that are conducted in English:

• Professional Specialisation Studies in Business Engineering
• Professional Specialisation Studies in Master of Arts, Music Performance 1

Exchange students have to apply for the studies according to the normal application procedure by using Oulu University of Applied Sciences' online application form.
