Who can apply
Take on real work. Paid, or for credit.
Paid work is open to any professional or student. Credit-based work ties the project to your degree, with your university approving it first.
Only credit-based projects require university approval before work starts.
What you get
No gatekeeping on paid work
Browse and apply to paid projects directly. No university affiliation, no approval step.
Credit that counts
Link a project to your programme and let the relevant professor sign off before you start.

Every project you complete, paid or credit-based, stays on your profile.

Common questions
Do I need to be a student to apply?
Only for credit-based projects. Paid projects are open to any professional or student, no university affiliation required.
How do I get paid?
For paid projects, payment is broken into milestones — as each is marked ready, you invoice the company directly, using a service like UKKO or Kassavirtanen, or as a freelancer through your own business. Credit-based projects involve no payment.
Do credit-based projects need approval?
Yes. Your university reviews the request and the relevant professor approves or rejects it before you start.
Can I build a portfolio across both types of work?
Yes — your profile tracks both paid and credit-based projects you take on.
