How to apply

1. Familiarize yourself with the requirements

  • Read all of the information on the admission pages and make sure that you fulfill the admission requirements.
  • You can apply to a maximum of 2 Master’s degree programmes in the rolling admission round.
  • Take all tests (language and/or GMAT/GRE-tests) early so you have had time to receive the test result before you submit your application.
  • Start collecting the required attachments in time – all attachments must be submitted simultaneously with the application!
  • The Ministry of education and culture in Finland has preparations to introduce an application fee for 2025 application rounds in progress. Read more in the national application portal Studyinfo.
  • Only apply to the study location (Helsinki or Vaasa) and study programme that you are ready to attend as you cannot change location or programme internally after accepting your admission offer.
