Please remember that a paper application form must arrive by post at the UAS of your first choice by 15 February 2011 at 4.15 pm Finnish time. A postal stamp from that date will not be sufficient.

The order of preference chosen in the application is binding and cannot be altered after the application closes. Please note, that it is not advisable to apply to many different study fields. An applicant is advised to choose his/her options from one or two study fields. If you are not accepted on the programme of your first preference, your points will be checked to see if you can be accepted for your second, third or fourth preference. If you are accepted on the degree programme of your first preference, you cannot be selected for your second, third or fourth preference. Once you have been placed on a reserve place, you can be accepted for a higher preference option due to cancellations, if you have decided to be placed on a waiting list for a higher preference option or you have not accepted another study place. Please note that you can accept only one new study place during the same academic year.
Changing the application • The order of preference can only be changed during the application period. • Changes in address or other relevant personal details can be changed outside the application period. • All changes in the application or additional information must be sent in writing to the admissions office of the UAS of your first preference.
All UAS’s arrange entrance examinations. All applicants who have demonstrated their eligibility and required language skills will receive invitation letters to the examinations. Final selection is based on the results of the entrance examinations for all applicants who apply with certificates other than the Finnish Matriculation examination, Finnish International Baccalaureate or Reifeprüfung examination completed in spring 2011 or earlier or European Baccalaureate completed in 2010 or earlier. Selection of those applying with the Finnish Matriculation examination, Finnish IB or Reifeprüfung completed in spring 2011 or earlier or European Baccalaureate completed in 2010 or earlier, is based on the results of the entrance examination and points awarded for school certificates. Some UAS’s select all their new students solely on the basis of the results of the entrance examinations. Details of this can be found at www.admissions.fi -> Degree programmes. Many UAS’s cooperate in the entrance examinations. This means that an entrance examination completed at one UAS is accepted by another. Please note that some UAS’s require that you participate in their own entrance examination. The list for co-operating degree programmes is at www.admissions.fi -> Application practicalities -> Selection of new students/Entrance examinations.

Degree Programmes in English
Selection of new students
Some Degree Programmes of Finnish UAS’s organise entrance examinations in some locations outside Finland. Other Degree Programmes arrange entrance examinations only in Finland. More information about the entrance examinations outside Finland will be available at www.admissions.fi -> Application practicalities -> Selection of new students/Entrance examinations by the end of 2010. Please note that the UAS cannot and will not in any case influence the decisions made by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland in regards of visas. The admission of a student is conditional until the UAS has checked the applicant’s school and other relevant certificates. The UAS may withdraw the admission, if the applicant has given false information. Make sure that you confirm your study place by 2 August 2011 at the latest, otherwise you will lose the study place offered to you.
One study place per year You can only accept one study place at a higher education institution in Finland starting in the same academic semester (in Autumn 2011: 1 August–31 December). This rule is valid only in the joint applications in higher education. This rule does not prevent you from accepting another study place during another academic semester.
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, if reserve study places become available. Find out about your possibilities by directly contacting the institutes of higher education. You can always apply again next year and it is worth contacting the admissions offices or employment offices in order to plan how to improve your chances for admission.
Appeal An applicant not satisfied with the results of the student selection process should first contact the UAS he/she has applied to. If the matter is not resolved, the student may appeal in writing to the executive board of the UAS in question. Such an appeal must be made within 14 days from the time the applicant had the possibility of receiving information on student selection.
Confirming the study place Application results for degree programmes starting in autumn 2011 will be sent by mail to the students by 19 July 2011 at the latest. In addition to the letter of admittance, the student will receive a confirmation form. It is imperative that the student submits the confirmation form to the higher education institution in which he/she wishes to study by 2 August 2011 at 4.15 pm Finnish time at the latest, otherwise the student will lose the study place. Confirmation of the study place is binding and cannot be altered or cancelled. If you have applied to several degree programmes, please wait until you have received all the admission results as you can only accept one new study place. Once you have received all the results, select your study place and return the confirmation form. If you have applied with a qualification completed in Finland, please attach a copy of your certificate(s) to your confirmation form. If you have been accepted to a higher option of preference, you cannot choose a study place from options of a lower preference. A student loses his/her study place, if the confirmation form arrives at the higher education institution after the set date.

* The average of grades on the Reifeprüfung examination is converted by dividing the total of points by 60, and then converting it according to the chart (e.g. 520: 60 ~ 8,67, thus converted to 8.)
Entrance examinations The maximum points awarded for the entrance examination is 100 points. The entrance examination results of those applicants who are admitted on the basis of the total of points for school performance and the entrance examination are automatically scaled down by 0.7. The dates of the entrance examinations in Finland can be found in the descriptions of the Degree Programmes in this guide. The dates of the entrance examinations outside Finland can be found at www.samk.fi/apply by the end of 2010. The exact place and time will be informed in the invitation letter which is sent to an eligible applicant. The minimum score for a passed examination is 30 points out of 100 points in every degree programme in SAMK. If an applicant gets less than 30 points from the entrance examination, he/she cannot be accepted to the programme.
