Education - Humak University of Applied Sciences

Humak has 2000 students who study full-time at our campuses, complete their studies as multiform learning while working, or study completely online. 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 our Open UAS.

Please, note that at the current moment Humak has TWO degree programmes in English:

Bachelor of Adventure and Outdoor Education (Community Education)
European Master of Sign Language Interpreting (EUMASLI)

Application period for Bachelor of Adventure and Outdoor Education is annually in January.

Application period for EUMASLI is announced on the study programmes’ webpage.

Humak’s Degree Programmes in General

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

Please note that the studies are carried mostly in Finnish, except for the two programmes mentioned above. The Finnish-language degree programmes are suitable only for people able to study in Finnish.

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 community-based and humane 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 your 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.
