Entry routes and study planning

  1. 01

    The standard upper-secondary entry structure requires at least 22 course blocks, equivalent to 132 credits, with a planned four-year structure. Other entry routes can require fewer blocks. The 2026 programme book includes an errata insert correcting parts of the study schedule; use the current document when planning registration.

    Use the applicable intake documents

    STOU publishes a second-semester 2026 programme structure and registration plan for Political Science. Check the chosen pathway and your entry qualification against those documents before submitting the undergraduate application.
