Application Process Question

[lpage160]

I want to apply for university this upcoming year. I believe I saw that the application process starts in January.

I just want to clarify some things to make sure I'm absolutely clear.

So you apply to programms on studyinfo.fi?
From there it says I can apply to up to 6 degree programms listed by order of preference.

Now, do I take the entrance exam for each program I list and then they decide if I get in or do I get told which one I'm accepted to and then go take the entrance exam to see if I'm really accepted?

If I do get put on a waiting list I read in the forums that you can opt to go for the next on your list, how does that work?

Ideally I would like to get into a school and move over there asap. I know I need an official acceptance letter in order to get the necessary documents from the embassy. When do you usually get those letters?

Kiitos paljon!

I'd suggest you read the first post on this forum page, a lot of info there.

You'll also find answers to most questions from the studyinfo.fi page and/or on the pages of the university/applied sciences/etc school you want to apply to; from application proceesses to entrance exams to acceptance letter timelines. Just takes a bit of reading through. And you may also email the student info offices at each school for particulars.
