(PRESS RELEASE) HELSINKI, 7-May-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Opin.fi is a collaborative platform that brings together a wide range of open higher education studies from Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences. This service allows users to explore, compare, and access courses from 29 participating institutions, including the University of Helsinki. The platform is designed to provide a seamless experience for students seeking to enhance their knowledge across various subjects.
Opin.fi offers a diverse collection of higher education courses, ranging from sustainable development and new technologies to the evolving demands of the workforce. The platform’s user-friendly search function and filters make it easy to find relevant courses in Finnish, Swedish, and English. It currently hosts open studies from 29 institutions, with plans to include offerings from 37 higher education institutions by the end of the year. These studies are available in both contact teaching and distance learning formats, providing flexibility for learners.
The service’s thematic sections feature studies on key areas such as sustainable development, cutting-edge technologies, and the future of work, catering to the educational needs of a modern society.

Looking ahead, Opin.fi plans to integrate smart recommendation features into the service. This will enable the platform to suggest content based on a user’s preferences and previous learning experiences, making it easier for learners to discover relevant study materials. Users will also be able to track their progress and access previously completed studies within the platform, ensuring that they can build on their knowledge efficiently.
While Opin.fi provides an extensive catalogue of courses and study materials, enrollment remains through the individual universities’ own systems. This allows students to directly engage with the institutions and complete the enrollment process for their chosen studies.
