General admission requirements
Prospective students who wish to apply to degree programmes (bachelor- and
master-level) in a university of applied sciences must apply during the
application period, which is the same nationwide. There is a separate
application period for applying to degree programmes in foreign languages. The
Seinäjoki UAS Admissions Office is responsible for matters concerning the
nationwide application period and the separate application period. Nearly all
degree programmes require that prospective students sit an entrance examination.
Other criteria for being accepted into the university include previous grades,
students' own priorities for admission, work experience and often a preliminary
assignment.
The general entry requirements for admission to universities of applied
sciences:
- Matriculation examination for upper secondary school of
equivalent
- International Baccalaureate,
Reiseprüfung
or European Baccalaureate examinations
- Basic vocational qualification
- Qualification in vocational upper
secondary education
- Qualification in combined vocational and
upper secondary education
- Basic vocational qualification or joint
studies in adult education
- Corresponding international or foreign
qualification
Detailed entry requirements are defined in the Act on Universities of Applied
Sciences (351/2003, § 20). Universities of applied sciences observe
independently set principles for entrance examinations and selecting students.
However, the institutions are committed to extensive collaboration and observing
the general selection criteria in different fields of study.

criteria is available at

Accepting a study place
Once a prospective student has received a letter of acceptance to study at
Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences, he/she must confirm to accept that
place by the beginning of the academic year. If the student does not enrol
within the allotted time, he/she is considered to have given up the right to
study in the institution. Written notification of accepting the study place is
binding and cannot be cancelled or changed.
