Plan your studies
When you are admitted to Åbo Akademi University, you are granted a study right in the programme you have been admitted to. The study right grants you the right to take courses and get a degree. The studies are divided into major subjects, minor subjects and elective courses. How the studies are structured depends on what programme you are studying.
You can also study at Åbo Akademi University without the right to complete a degree, for example if you are studying at the Open University or are a JOO-student.
