Alternative to Metropolia - fcfcfc - 01-24-2024
Now that Metropolia is not available to foreigners, what would be a good option to earn cheap ra credit for a TESU Math and Computer Science double degree

Wow, when/why was metropolia discontinued for foreigners? I thought they offered a bunch of courses specifically catered to foreigners?

You cannot enroll in Metropolia as a foreigner any more. Rumor has it that it had to do with Finnish government funding. In the past, enrollment was proposed for the cheap IT degree offerings or for many other courses that can only be taken if you have a Metropolia student account.
As far as I know you can still do Metropolia courses through the Viope platform, but the course offerings are very limited there. I have not tried out if that still works.

I would follow the templates on the WIKI to get them done, you can search for institutions on the WIKI and get the ones with the best ROI or Value, by comparing the costs, learning medium or platform, time required, etc.

Did you found any good option?

University of Helsinki I believe might still be open to all: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/admissions-and-education/open-university/open-university-studies-degree-programme/computer-science#computer-science

Change of availability of Metropolia open courses: they have again changed info on the website, it's now possible to study without Finnish social security number for EU citizens:
"NOTE! Since 01.01.2024 you can't enrol to our courses without Finnish Social Security number, unless you are EU citizen."
