Cross-institutional studies

Upper secondary level student in the City of Helsinki, the opportunity for cross-institutional studies is intended for you! Cross-institutional studies mean that you can choose any studies that interest you from the courses offered to everyone by general upper secondary schools, the Helsinki Vocational College and the Adult Education Centre. 

The selection includes permits needed for work, creative subjects, studies that support your wellbeing and studies that provide a more rounded education. The study credits will be included in your qualification or degree.

This autumn’s offerings include many interesting courses! The studies offered by the Adult Education Centre include customising your formal dance outfit, and students can learn subjects like theatre at the Helsinki Vocational College.

The summer and autumn cross-institutional offerings are available on the Helsinki Online Upper Secondary School website. For more information, get in touch with your guidance counsellor.

This website will be updated during the autumn term of 2024.
