Path studies
Path studies are predetermined study modules that are a part of Humak’s degrees. Completing path studies gives students application eligibility to the degree studies in question. Path studies include both Bachelor’s and Master’s level studies. On this page, you can find detailed descriptions of different path study options offered by Humak.
Path studies lead to degree studies
Path studies are a predetermined set of study modules that are a part of Humak’s degrees and give students application eligibility to the degree studies in question. Path studies will be accepted in full if you are later selected as a Humak degree student in a separate or joint application.
In the beginning of your path studies, it is recommended to devise a personal study plan (PSP). It is important to create a realistic PSP, so that you can divide your schedule between studying, work, family, and recreational time. Familiarize yourself with study planning in the section on study planning.
