- When applying to a Bachelor’s degree programme the student has completed at least 60 credits in an open university of applied sciences by the date on when the application is submitted. Having completed 60 credits of studies applicable to the Bachelor’s degree programme to which he or she is applying, the student is eligible for studies in said programme even though he or she is not eligible to apply according to the stipulations of the Polytechnics Act.
- When applying to a Master’s degree programme of 90 credits the student has completed 25 credits in an open university of applied sciences, and when applying to a Master’s degree programme of 60 credits the student has completed 20 credits of studies, which are applicable to the degree programme in question. The applicant must have an applicable Bachelor’s degree or other applicable higher education degree as well as three years’ job experience after taking said degree. If the student has completed a college-level or higher-level vocational degree programme before taking the Bachelor’s degree, the required job experience may have been acquired during the period between said degrees.
- The studies must have been field-specific studies; studies completed at all universities of applied sciences are acceptable.
- Selection is based on field-specific principles; selection is based on an interview, completed studies and completed credits. The student must have a realistic possibility to complete the studies during the right-to-study period (progress in studies, readiness to study, languages, mathematics) and the applicant may be required to pass a programme-specific applicability test before selection.
- The applicant becomes a degree student at the beginning of a semester (1.1. or 1.8.).
The principles stated above are applied in accepting students via separate application to youth and adult Bachelor’s degree programmes, foreign language programmes and Master’s degree programmes.
