JYU is offering three new international master’s degree programmes.

The Master’s Degree Programme in Responsible Management and Business of Sport educates sport managers for Finland and abroad, responding to the needs of the 2020s. This programme brings, in a new way, responsibility into the focus of sport organisations’ activities. The master’s programme is carried out in multidisciplinary collaboration between two faculties: Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics (JSBE) and the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences.

The revised Master’s Degree Programme in Psychology of Physical Activity, Health, and Wellbeing (PsyAct) provides research- and practice-oriented studies in English.

RADMEP - Radiation and its Effects on MicroElectronics and Photonics Technologies is an international master’s-level Erasmus Mundus programme implemented jointly by four European universities. The RADMEP programme offers studies in microelectronics and photonics. The main emphasis in these studies is on the effects of radiation when applying these technologies in different radiation environments, such as space, nuclear power plants, and particle accelerators.

In terms of the number of applicants, the most popular English-medium programmes at JYU have been in economics and education. They are expected to interest applicants in this application round as well.

The English-speaking programmes of the University of Jyväskylä are available to Finns as well as for foreign applicants. An annual study fee is charged from students with citizenship other than that of an EU/EEA country or Switzerland. The fee varies depending on the programme, ranging from 8,000 euros to 12,000 euros. When applying for a study place, students may also apply for a grant to cover the annual fee.

JYU has annually more than 1,000 foreign students, about a half of whom in English-medium master’s degree programmes and the rest in doctoral programmes or as exchange students.

The admission criteria for master’s degree programmes include a relevant bachelor-level degree from Finland or abroad. The applicants must also show their English language proficiency as specified in the admission criteria of the master’s degree programme in question. The programmes last for two years and their scope is 120 study credits. The language of instruction is English.
