Recommendation on the Admission Criteria for the 2009 Joint Application System to Degree Programmes conducted In English

This recommendation applies to the selection/admission process of Finnish professionally-oriented higher education institutions’ Bachelor-level degree programmes conducted in English. The professionally-oriented higher education institutions either use the English translation ‘polytechnic’ or ‘university of applied sciences’ when referring to themselves. For the purpose of this document, professionally oriented higher education institutions are hereafter referred to as polytechnics and/or universities of applied sciences (abbr. UAS). Moreover, this document refers to a ‘degree programme conducted in English’ with a general term ‘programme’.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ADMISSIONS.

Applications for the programmes are submitted through the joint application system.

The applicant may choose at most four options. The student admissions follow the admission criteria decided on by the polytechnics/UAS’s in the joint application system, and the order of preference of the options chosen by the applicant. The application form must be submitted by the end of the application period. The admiss-ion is conditional until the polytechnic/UAS has checked the applicant’s school and other relevant certificates. The polytechnic/UAS may withdraw the admission, if the applicant has given false information.
