Minor subject studies in the UEF

In our university, the main principle of minor subject studies is that the studies are offered to the student across campus borders. However, there are restrictions to admittance, proficiency tests or entrance examinations in some subjects or study programmes that apply to students of all campuses. These include languages, psychology, medicine, pharmacy, teacher training (including the pedagogical studies for teachers), social work, nursing science and nutrition.

The faculty-specific principles of minor subject studies and the offered minor subjects are collected in Study Guides.

Degree students may also apply for a free right to minor subject studies in certain subjects offered by the Open University of Eastern Finland (in Finnish).

Minor subjects may also be studied in other Finnish universities as so-called JO​O-studies.​
