Eligibility to apply for higher education studies can be obtained with:

* a general upper secondary school qualification,
* vocational qualification,
* International Baccalaureate, Reifeprüfung or European Baccalaureate examination
* vocational college diploma or higher vocational diploma,
* foreign degree/qualification which gives eligibility for higher education in the awarding country.

A vocational qualification of less than three years in duration gives eligibility to a corresponding field of study. Eligibility for polytechnic/UAS studies in a corresponding field of study may be broadened into general eligibility for polytechnic/UAS studies.

Those applicants who are applying with competence based vocational qualification, competence based further vocational qualification or non-Finnish qualifications must have completed their studies by the end of the application period.

If an applicant who is applying with a non-Finnish qualification is a citizen of an EU/EEA-country, he/she can apply if the qualification is completed during the spring of applying. The admission of such EU/EEA –applicant completing his/her education in the spring of applying is conditional until the polytechnic/UAS has checked the applicant’s final certificates.

Polytechnics/UAS only accept final certificates awarded by national and regional bodies granting educational certificates. Therefore various other documents such as "Testimonials", "Statements of Results", "Examination Results" or "Result Slips" are not considered as official certificates. Please note, that if you have a scratch card, it is advisable to attach the card to your final certificate.
