Entry requirements for students from Finland
If you're joining us from Finland, the entry requirements you need to meet will depend on the course you want to study.
We consider all applications we receive. However, to make sure you get the most out of your time studying with us and have the best chance of applying successfully, we recommend the following minimum qualifications:
Undergraduate courses
If you've completed the Ylioppilastutkinto / Studentexamen and have achieved mostly Magna cum laude approbatur (M) in your four Matriculation exams, we'll consider you for admission onto an undergraduate course such as a Bachelor's degree.
Postgraduate courses
If you've completed a Bachelor's degree (Kandidaatti/Kandidat) with a grade of 4/5 ( Erittäin hyvä / Mycket god) or 2/3 (Hyvä / God) from a recognised Higher Education institution, we'll consider you for admission onto our Master's programmes.
PhDs
We'll consider you for a PhD if you have a good Master's degree and submit a research proposal.
English Language requirements
When you join us, it’s important that you can speak and understand English to the level that your course requires. The specific English language requirements will be on your chosen course page. We can accept Grade 4 in English at the Matriculation Examiation in Ylioppilastutkinto / Studentexamen, depending on the course.
We accept IELTS, IGCSE and several other certificates, but don’t worry if you're currently short of the standard required – we offer English Language Programmes that will get you to the necessary level.

You can find information about the tuition fees you’ll need to pay and the EU Scholarship for students joining us in 2023/24 and beyond on the Tuition fees and scholarships for EU students page.
