Partial qualification

Instead of completing a qualification fully, you can study parts of the qualification.

Are you…

• a higher education student who has had a long-lasting music-related hobby?
• applying for further studies at a higher education institution in the field of music?
• taking a gap year?

You can also study modules that are smaller than the entire qualification, that is, partial qualifications. We offer the following types of partial qualifications (further information in links in Finnish)

Instrument studies (instrument and singing studies and teaching groups such as workshops, Lied, opera, orchestras, old music band)

• Working as a soloist
• Working as a member of a band, choir or orchestra
• Old music

Music theory studies (both classical and pop and jazz are available)

• Songwriting
• Arrangement and instrumentation
• Composing

Music technology studies

• Using studio equipment
• Making a music recording
• Using a sound system

Basic vocational studies in music production

• Producing a music performance or event
• Working in the production process of a music recording

Other optional studies

• Leading a music ensemble (classical management and band leader)
• Preparing to become a workplace instructor

Choose topics that are suitable for you and sign up!

When applying, please note:

We use application units in student admissions. Applicants are divided into application units:

• By instrument (qualification parts that include instrument training) and
• By previous education (comprehensive school/general upper secondary school, vocational education and training, higher education)

Vocational education and training is available in Finnish, so applicants must have sufficient language skills to successfully complete their studies in Finnish.
