Altogether 239 people, who have applied with a Finnish degree certificate, have been invited to the entrance examination. Some of those who have applied with a Finnish degree certificate will be selected with the certificate-based method. Those applying with a foreign degree certificate are still selected based on the international SAT test. 

More specific instructions have been sent to all applicants invited to the entrance examination, to the email address the applicant has provided in the application form in Studyinfo. 

The changes do not apply the Master’s degree programmes (Service Design and Creative Design Management) included in the first joint application of the spring, in which applicants have submitted their preliminary tasks already in January and the admission interviews will be conducted online with a remote connection according to the earlier plan. 

The second joint application of the spring, to degree programmes conducted in Finnish, is currently ongoing. The changes announced here do not apply the second joint application period of the spring.
