Transfer Student Selection
A transfer student is considered to be a student who has a valid right to study at another Finnish higher education institution or at Oulu UAS
- whose study right is transferred from one higher education institution to another
- inside the higher education institution from one study field to another
- inside the higher education institution from one degree programme to another within the same field of study so that the degree title related to the objective degree changes.
When transfer students accept a new study right, they simultaneously lose the study right on which the transfer is based. (Act 257/2015).
Transfer from one degree programme to another inside Oulu UAS without changing the degree title
If a student applying for transfer within Oulu UAS so that the degree title remains unchanged, the process is referred to as changing the degree programme instead of transfer. The application and selection proceedings of the transfer student selection are applied also to these applicants.
