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.
