Admission

Admission procedure

Admission results

Admission results for degree programmes starting in autumn 2011 will be sent by postal mail to the students by 17 July 2012 at the latest.

Confirming your study place

Make sure that you confirm your study place by 31 July 2012 at the latest, otherwise you will forfeit the study place offered to you.

Confirmation of the study place

Confirmation of the study place is binding and cannot be altered or rectified. If you have applied to several degree programmes, please wait until you have received all the admission results. Once you have received all the results, select your study place and return the confirmation form. You will forfeit your study place, if the confirmation form arrives at the higher education institution after the set date.

One place per student per term

You can only accept one study place at a higher education institution in Finland starting in the same academic term (spring or autum). This rule does not prevent you from accepting another study place during another academic term or year.

Reserve places

You can be placed on the waiting list for a reserve place if you have been admitted to a lower preference study place by 19 July 2011. You can remain on the waiting list until 14 August 2012.

If you are not selected

If you do not receive a study place in the joint application, you will receive a letter informing you of your points and the possible reserve places for the options to which you have applied. Applicants allocated to reserve places are chosen according to the level of their results, should study places become available. Find out about your possibilities by directly contacting the institutes of higher education.

If you are dissatisfied with the results of the selection process you have the right to make an appeal.
