Introduction
Peek courses introduce students to university of applied sciences studies and the skills needed to study.

Pathway studies (30 or 60 credits) are an excellent way to fast-track your studies, as they can be transferred to your future Bachelor's degree.
Currently, Laurea is piloting a set of pathways in the fields of Beauty and cosmetics, physiotherapy and business studies.
After completing the vocational qualifications degree and Laurea's pathway studies, it is possible to apply to Laurea as a degree student through a separate selection procedure.
Peek courses (1-5 credits) provide an opportunity to get to know the studies of UAS. A peek course gives you the chance to experience what higher-level education is like.
One credit corresponds to about 27 hours of work.

Metropolia University of Applied Sciences
Varia's electrical engineering students have the opportunity to choose Metropolia pathway studies. The aim of the cooperation between Varia and Metropolia UAS is to expedite the overall studies of the vocational qualifications degree and Bachelor's degrees by eliminating overlaps between the two degrees.
The goal is to complete approximately 30 credits through the pathway studies. The studies completed per the UAS requirement will be transferred when the studies are later continued at Metropolia. Applications for further studies are made through a joint application or the Open UAS.
The pathway studies for university of applied sciences are chosen at the beginning of the studies as part of the personal development plan (HOKS). If your study goals change, the plan can also be modified.
