Starting from August 2025 you can register for the Asianet courses in your own institutions’ Peppi or Sisu registry!

1. Students from member universities of the Finnish University Network for Asian Studies (JYU, TAU, UTU, Jamk and Tamk)

Students who are actively enrolled as degree students in a member university of the Finnish University Network for Asian Studies can now register to the Asianet courses in their own institutions Peppi or Sisu system. So, application is now much easier thanks to the RIPA Cross-institutional Study System.

From August 2025 onwards, Asianet no longer arranges periodical application periods. Instead eligible students register to the courses through their own institutions Peppi or Sisu system.  Each course has its own registration period, please check the times from Peppi or Sisu and from the course introductions here on our website.  Also credit transfer to your own universities registry takes place automatically for courses starting from September 2025.

Remember, the courses continue to be free of charge for actively enrolled degree students of the member universities, which are:

    • University of Turku
    • University of Jyväskylä (including JAMK University of Applied Sciences)
    • Tampere University (including Tampere University of Applied Sciences)

2. Other students and interested individuals

 If you are not a student of the member universities, but would still like to take our courses, you can apply for a self-paying non-degree study right at the University of Turku.

By applying for a non-degree study right at UTU you have the option to take courses and pursue a full minor for a fee of 250 euros. To do this, you must first fill out the UTU application form for non-degree studies. Applications for Asianet courses are accepted in August and November. Once you have received the acceptance letter, make sure to pay the study fee before the courses start, to receive the invitation letter to the courses. Self-funding students who want to take advanced courses have to prove that they have basic knowledge of the topic either through studies or working experience. If you already have a valid non-degree study right for Asianet courses, you can sign up to the courses in UTU Peppi.

Welcome to study Asia with us!
