Study credits make your skills visible
Study credits are a national way of describing your competence and the workload involved in your studies. One study credit corresponds to 27 hours of work, including both contact teaching and independent study.
Courses are assessed on a pass/fail basis, and only approved study credits are recorded in the National Registry and Data Transfer Service for Study Rights and Completed Studies (Koski), maintained by the Finnish National Agency for Education. You can view and share your recorded attainments via the My Studyinfo service.
