Applications for the FITech Network University’s free autumn courses open on Wednesday, 3 June 2026 at 9:00.
FITech’s course selection includes courses related to topics like leadership, project management, sustainability, and future technologies. Most courses are offered online. Please read the course information carefully on FITech’s website before applying.
All autumn courses may not appear on FITech’s website immediately when the application opens; some courses may be added later. Contrary to earlier information, the autumn FITech course offering will not be published on the Opin.fi service. Explore FITech’s course selection and find interesting courses!
Please note that Aalto University degree students apply for FITech courses organised by Aalto directly through Aalto’s own system, not through FITech.
How to apply for FITech’s autumn courses as a degree student:
- Energy-related studies: Apply in RIPA starting 1.8.2026.
- Other studies: For the time being, apply in Studyinfo starting 3.6.2026.
Information about the application channel for degree students (Studyinfo or RIPA) can be found on each course’s own course page on FITech’s website.
If a course is included in FITech’s RIPA agreement, its application period for degree students starts on 1 August 2026. You can apply for FITech courses available in RIPA starting August 1st if your home institution and degree programme are included in the RIPA agreement. If your home institution or degree programme is not included in the agreement, unfortunately you cannot study the course through FITech.
The higher education institutions and degree programmes included in the RIPA agreements will be updated on FITech’s “Cross-institutional study for degree students” page once the agreements have been signed, but no later than the end of July. Read more on FITech’s website.
See more detailed instructions about RIPA on Aalto's Cross-institutional studies page.
