If you apply for a right to complete non-degree studies on the basis of a conditional decision from the National Agency for Education, we will check which courses you need to complete on the basis of the conditional decision and apply for the right to complete those courses. You do not need to add these courses on the application form.

If your conditional decision from the National Agency for Education includes optional studies, add the courses to the application form in the section "Optional courses to be applied for".

 Optional courses to be applied for

Complete this section only if your decision by the National Agency of Education includes optional studies in specific subject areas. You can browse the optional courses offered in the preliminary teaching program for the Master of Laws. (https://studies.helsinki.fi/instructions/optional-studies)

Fill in the optional study sections in the form in order of priority. It is advisable to choose a few study sections above the required number of credits, as the right to conduct non-degree studies may not be granted for all the courses you apply for.
