Education - Humak University of Applied Sciences

Humak has 1700 students who study full-time at our campuses, complete their studies as multiform learning while working, or completely as online studies. We’ve also got thousands of Open UAS students who have taken pathway studies leading to degree studies, or wish to deepen their knowledge with single courses or study modules offered through Open UAS.

At Humak you can complete studies leading to Bachelor’s or Master’s level degrees:

Community Education prepares students to work as professionals in the fields of youth work, NGO work, workplace community development and adventure and outdoor education.
Cultural Management prepares students to work as professionals in the fields of production and project management and entrepreneurship in creative industries.
Interpreting and Accessibility prepares students to work as sign language interpreters or AAC interpreters and instructors.

According to our findings Humak graduates are satisfied with their degree. Humak trains students in communal and human-centric professions. Humak’s values of equality, communality and individualism are reflected in everything we do.

Studying at a university of applied sciences is practical and close to working life. During studies it’s possible to integrate tasks given by working life partners as part of your degree. Students looking to complete master’s degrees must have at least two years of prior experience in an applicable field (after completing a bachelor’s degree). Chosen students often have a development project for their organisation that they further during their master’s degree studies.

Full-time, Multiform or Online Studies?

Full-time studies are most suited for students who wish to study full-time on weekdays. Applying for studies does not require previous studies or work experience in the field. Studies familiarise you with the basics of the field. Studies include basic and professional studies as well as internships and a thesis.

Multiform studies in bachelor’s degrees are suited for those who are currently working and are unable to attend full-time studies on weekdays. The studies are composed of separately announced contact teaching days / weeks and independent studying.

Online studies include interactive webinars, group and independent studies and internships in authentic environments. Studies are completed online in Humak’s digital campus, excluding some contact teaching days in Helsinki at the beginning of studies, thus studies can be completed anywhere.
