programme options

- an FAQ section to find answers to many commonly asked
questions
If
you need advice on your application, get in touch with the Admissions Services
of the university you are applying to. You can find their contact details at Studyinfo.fi, or on the universities’ own
admissions info pages.
There is no application fee,
applying is always free.
HOW TO APPLY
The application route and
period depends on the degree programme, so always start by searching for the
study programme(s) you’d wish to apply to. After choosing your
programme(s), it is easy for you to check the application period and
other admission-related details with those particular universities you
are interested in.
JOINT
APPLICATION
The Studyinfo.fi joint application to studies starting in
autumn (September) is arranged annually in January (4–18 Jan in 2023). All
degree programmes available via the joint application share the same
application period. Joint application also means that you can apply to up to
six degree programmes with one single application.
A small number of
individual degree programmes may also offer a January study start
option. To these, the joint application period is usually open in
September (31 Aug–14 Sept in 2022). Note however that the September joint
application for studies starting in January has a
rather limited selection of programmes on offer compared to the
January joint application.
SEPARATE
APPLICATIONS
Some degree
programmes can have their application periods open before or after the joint
application periods. You can read more about separate applications at Studyinfo.fi. In
separate applications, the application period can vary a lot depending on the
programme.
In many cases, the separate
applications periods fall between the period from late November/early December
to late January, for studies starting in autumn, but some
universities/UAS’s may also offer application options through rolling admissions
over a period of several months. So, as there is a lot of variation in
“separate application” periods, it is always recommendable to check the
exact application period with the university/UAS of your choice.
ELIGIBILITY
When applying for bachelor’s programmes,
you usually need to hold such school-leaving certificates that make you
eligible to apply for higher education in your home country. You’ll need
your upper secondary school certificates, even if you have completed some
higher education studies after that.
For master’s level
admissions, you need to have completed a university-level bachelor’s degree, or
equivalent. For UAS master’s, there is an additional requirement
of at least 2 years of work experience in the field after completing
one’s bachelor’s degree.
The exact requirements may vary from
one degree programme to another, so always check the details with the
university and degree programme you are interested in. For example, if you
are an eligible applicant, you may additionally be required to complete an
entrance exam, SAT test, or an interview.
If
English is not your first language, you may need to demonstrate your English
proficiency level. IELTS and TOEFL are the most commonly accepted options, but
many institutions also offer others. Check the English proficiency test
requirements and any possible exemption rules with the university you are
applying to.
ADMISSION RESULTS
After the
application period and any entrance exams are over, the universities you’ve
applied to will process your application and make a final admission decision.
The admissions decision schedule is available in the Studyinfo.fi programme
description.
Once you
have been accepted as a student, you will receive an official letter of
admission from the institution in question. Remember to follow the
guidelines given by the university to confirm your study place. Note that you
can only accept one study place per term, even if you receive several offers.
- Read the Studyinfo.fi instructions on confirming your study place.
- Read more about the one study place per term provision at Studyinfo.fi.
Having
accepted your study place, you can start applying for your student residence permit.
Start your student residence permit application process as soon as possible
