How can I get ECTS credits for the courses?
If you complete the Global, Finnish or Swedish version of the course, you can apply for an academic transcript with recorded ECTS credits (free of charge) through the University of Helsinki Open University. Please note that the registration process requires strong authentication because you will gain access to university services. The service developed by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, Suomi.fi, is available for use.
Additionally, authentication is also possible through the European identification (eIDAS).
Please refer to the open university page for more information on enrollment and strong authentication.
The process of registering ECTS credits with the University of Helsinki Open University for Elements of AI course for nationals who cannot use strong identification is temporarily suspended.
University of Helsinki degree students can enroll directly through their Sisu account (Sisu: Structure of studies).
