On this page you will find instructions for the different possibilities of studying Climate University course materials.
Open Access materials
Climate University Open Access materials on the Digicampus platform are available for all and free to study anytime and anywhere. You can study the open-access at your own pace. Note that you cannot earn ECTS by studying the Open Access materials. You find the links to the course areas on the Digicampus platform under each individual course on our website.
Earning study credits (ECTS)
If you wish to get study points (ECTS) you must register for a course organized by a Higher Education Institution (HEI). Climate University courses are currently provided by several HEIs in Finland and also internationally. You can find the course codes under each course listed on our website. Most courses are also available via open university.
You can plan your studies by consulting the list of open-registration courses. An updated list is published in the Climate University blog at the beginning of the Autumn and Spring terms.
Study a course arranged by a partner HEI
Please check first if your HEI is one of the network partners. Some partner HEIs have cross-study agreements allowing the students to study courses from other partner HEIs for free. Registration to the cross-studies is offered by the organizing institution. Please note that you need to transfer the credits (ECTS) to your home institution by yourself and also note that all partner HEIs of the Climate University network do not have cross-study agreements.
For other students
Students of other HEIs or continuous learning can take the courses via open universities. Links to active registrations are gathered in the CU blog.
For international students
Currently, open universities in Finland can only recognize students with Finnish ID or who can come to Finland to be identified. We are working on different collaboration methods to solve the issue. Meanwhile, you are welcome to study the open access materials at your own pace.
For teachers
Climate University materials are free to use in your teaching. If you want to order a course area for your course or join the Climate University teacher network, please leave a message here. Our network supports teachers by organizing teacher meetings to share the best practices from the courses and to discuss the future development steps.
