Centria has joined Opin.fi
Opin.fi is a joint service of Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences with a diverse selection of open higher education studies on a single site. The open studies of Centria University of Applied Sciences can now be found in the service by anyone interested in developing their competence.
Opin.fi is intended for everyone interested in open higher education studies – more than 30 higher education institutions are already part of the service
Opin.fi is the joint service of Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences where open studies are within an easy reach. The service makes it easier for you to find open studies that suit you among Finnish higher education institutions’ large selection. Opin.fi was launched in spring 2025, and you can now also find the open studies of Centria in this service.
The service is designed to help anyone who wants to develop their competence at different life stages. Interest in learning may be sparked by working life needs, personal interests or a desire to change careers. The service offers studies in different fields and forms, without requiring prior university studies.
Opin.fi helps you find and compare studies
In Opin.fi, you can browse and compare the higher education institutions’ extensive offer of studies in one place. The search function and various filters help you find what you are looking for: for example, you can filter the selection based on whether you are interested in remote learning or contact teaching, or wish to study at your own pace or on a set schedule.
The ten themes of the service are a compilation of interesting studies on topical themes, including sustainable development, new technologies and transforming working life. You do not always need to complete credits to develop your competence. This is why the service also offers other ways of learning besides actual courses, including podcasts and webinars.
Identified users can view the higher education studies they have completed previously in the service. It also allows you to save interesting study options for later. Actual enrolment takes place in the universities’ own services.
More than 30 higher education institutions have already joined in
Opin.fi was developed together with the Finnish higher education institutions and future users of the service. Its development will also continue in the future, for example on the basis of user feedback.
The offer of studies found in the service will also change and develop constantly. In late 2025, more than 30 Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences already offer their open studies in the service, in Finnish, Swedish and English, with or without credits, and both as contact teaching and distance learning.
The Digivisio 2030 project is responsible for building the service together with the higher education institutions, and the service is operated by HigherEd Hub Finland Oy
