Thematic modules at Open university

The thematic modules of Aalto University’s Open University offer a way to explore Aalto’s different fields of study and start studying with a low threshold. The modules include 2–5 courses related to a specific theme. Explore the thematic modules on this page!

These theme modules have been created to help students find courses from Aalto’s different fields and to make it easier to choose studies in the open university. The themes have been divided into suitably small packages of 2–5 courses, which make it easy to start studying. Among the themes you will find, for example, work-life communication and philosophy modules, as well as a module which combines courses from Aalto’s three fields of education (art, technology and business). 

Please note that not all courses are available all the time. You can find the registration period in the course description. 

Read more about thematic modules

All the theme modules compiled on this page are suitable for people who do not have previous university study experience, as the studies included generally have no prerequisite knowledge requirements. Unless otherwise stated in the description, you can take the courses in any order you wish. 

Please note that not all thematic modules/courses are available English. 

How to register for open university courses

You can either participate in a single course or complete all the courses included in a thematic module. There is no separate registration for thematic modules; instead, you enrol on each course individually during its enrolment period. Registration for courses takes place in the Sisu service. A link to Sisu can be found in the course description during the registration period. 

You can search for courses included in a theme in the Open University course selection by typing the course name in the search field or by using filters. You will find more detailed information about the course in the course description.  

You do not receive a completion entry for thematic modules. If you wish to complete an official study module, familiarise yourself with the modules offered by the Open University for which you can receive a completion entry. Read more about these below. We also offer advanced study modules.

Other study options

At the Open University, you can also complete official modules for which you will receive a completion entry on your transcript of records. In addition, we offer a wide range of language studies.
