Open UAS semester modules

Diak’s Open UAS offering includes predetermined packages that correspond to studies taken in the first semester of our Bachelor’s degree programmes i.e. semester modules. Semester modules are also called path studies, because they are especially directed for learners who are looking to Open UAS for a different path to study towards a degree. Semester modules offer an opportunity to start goal oriented, full time studies even before receiving a study place in a degree programme. It is also possible to continue studies in Open UAS beyond the first semester.

At the moment Diak does not offer path studies for Master’s degree programmes, but some of the courses are available on Open UAS separately.

Modules on offer for fall semester are usually published in May and enrolment begins in July. Modules for spring semester are published in November and enrolment takes place in December. The exact enrolment dates are confirmed when information on studies on offer is published.

If you are considering applying to one of our degree programmes via open UAS, find out more about heading towards a degree through Open UAS.
