Abstract | The Finnisch open university system has expanded during the last few years because of measures undertaken in connection with recent social and educational policies in Finland. The abolition of the requirement that students must be at least 25 years of age changed significantly the structure of the open University student population. Nowadays more than a third of open university students are young adults, aged 18-25 years. The paper focusses on the background and life situation of these young adults and on the significance of the open university for their career perspective formation as a testing arena, discussing open university students' different interests and goals as well as the impact of open university studies on the students' educational and occupational careers.
