One Study Place per Term

According to this provision, a student may accept only one study place leading to a higher education degree during one academic term (spring or autumn). The purpose of this is to ensure admission to higher education institutions for as many students as possible. Higher education degrees are Bachelor's degrees and Master's degrees awarded by universities, and Bachelor's degrees and Master's degrees awarded by UAS. The provision applies to all degree studies in higher education regardless of how the studies are provided. The provision does not apply to the National Defence College, the Police College of Finland and the Åland Polytechnic. Furthermore, the provision cannot be applied to studies completed at foreign higher education institutions.

The provision does not prevent acceptance of a place in another degree programme during another academic term. Even if you postpone the commencement of studies for one term, or interrupt your studies, you cannot accept another study place for a degree programme starting in the same academic term.
