How to apply to Bachelor’s and Master’s

You can apply to our Bachelor's programmes in the national joint application to higher education, which means that you can apply to up to six degree programmes in one or several higher education institutions in Finland with one application form. 

Applying to Bachelor's programmes

Master's programmes

Universities of applied sciences offer mid-career Master's. This means that to be eligible for Master’s degree studies, you must have completed a suitable higher education degree and have at least two years (24 months) of relevant work experience after completing the degree.
