Eligibility
Eligibility for studies at polytechnics/UAS depends on
completing the Finnish Matriculation examination or upper secondary examination,
European Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate or Reifeprüfung
examination, vocational qualification of three years or more in duration or an
applicable foreign degree or qualification which gives eligibility for higher
education in the awarding country. A vocational qualification of less than three
years in duration gives eligibility to a corresponding field of study.
Eligibility for polytechnic/UAS studies in a corresponding field of study may be
broadened into general eligibility for polytechnic/UAS studies.
Those
applicants who are applying with competence based vocational qualification,
competence based further vocational qualification or non-Finnish qualifications
must have completed their studies by the end of the application period. If an
applicant who is applying with a non-Finnish qualification is a citizen of an
EU/EEA-country, he/she can apply if the qualification is completed during the
spring of applying. The admission of such EU/EEA applicant completing his/her
education in the spring of applying is conditional until the polytechnic/UAS has
checked the applicant s final certificates.
Polytechnics/UAS only accept
final certificates awarded by national and regional bodies granting educational
certificates. Therefore various other documents such as "Testimonials",
"Statements of Results", "Examination Results" or "Result Slips" are not
considered as official certificates. Please note, that if you have a scratch
card, it is advisable to attach the card to your final certificate. |
