How to apply?AdmissionsAdmissions system

Admission system

Where to submit your application

Most Finnish higher education institutions use an on-line electronic admissions system for their Bachelor’s and Master’s level student intake. You will also need to send in copies of your earlier educational certificates and other required documents. Additionally, depending on the programme, applicants may need to successfully pass an entrance examination.
How you should apply depends on whether you're applying to a university or a polytechnic (UAS), and also on your entry level. (For an explanation on the difference between 'university' and 'polytechnic (UAS)', see our FAQ section.)
Note also that it's very important that you check all the detailed application information (entry requirements, etc.) on the web pages of the Finnish university or polytechnic (UAS) you're applying to.
Once you've done that, you can refer to the guidelines below for info on where and how to submit your application.

Study programmes database

Welcome to the International Study Programmes Database maintained by CIMO. This database provides information about almost 550 study programmes in English offered by Finnish higher education institutions.
Some of the programmes are short courses which can usually be taken only as part of an exchange programme (Non-degree Programmes) - other, broader-based programmes take several years to complete and lead to an official Finnish higher education degree (Degree Programmes). The credits shown are ECTS credits.
NB: Polytechnic = University of Applied Science (UAS). For an explanation on the difference between 'university' and 'polytechnic (UAS)', please see our FAQ section.
If you wish to get more information on the contents of the individual programmes, please ask the institution in question for assistance.

Doctoral level studies and research

In Finnish universities, Doctoral level studies can be available either as ready-made Doctoral programmes or as tailor-made Doctoral level study and research opportunities. Therefore, not all the Doctoral level study and research options are covered here - our database only lists those ready-made programmes that are available in English. If you wish to work for a doctoral thesis in Finland, and can not find a suitable programme in this database, you can also contact the institution concerned or relevant department directly and inquire about possible Doctoral level study opportunities. The university can then assist you in questions regarding when and how to submit an application.

Disclaimer

All information provided in this database is provided by the institutions offering these programmes. CIMO makes every effort to ensure that the information published here is accurate. CIMO cannot, however, accept any liability for any direct or indirect damages caused by possible inaccuracies in the content.
