Application practicalities for Master’s degrees

Next application period for our master’s degrees is in January 8-22 2025. You can apply by filling in the online application at studyinfo portal during the application period.

Once filling in the personal and educational information, you should upload your higher education diploma, academic transcript and official English translation of them in pdf format into your online application. Also language certificate is required at this point. You can find the list of approved language tests at the website of language requirements for master’s degrees.

If you are exempted from the tuition fee upload the document proving the reason of the exemption into the online application e.g. residence permit, Brexit permit or citizenship of European Union. Finnish citizens don’t have to proof their citizenship.

There is also a place in the application to upload your advance assignment.

The online application closes on the last day of the application at 3 pm Finnish time. You can however, upload the documents into your online application by using the link received from the studyinfo portal, until the deadline of documents.

The degree programmes that do not have advance assignment as a selection method, have entrance examination course with separate registration. You can find the information of the used selection method from the admission criteria website of the degree programme.

The Finnish National Board of Education, the Finnish universities of applied sciences and the Finnish embassies are cooperating in informing foreign applicants whatever questions they might have regarding Finnish educational system.

If an applicant wants help e.g. in completing the application or something else relating to the application process, it is recommended that the applicant contacts the UAS in question, the Finnish National Board of Education and/or their local Finnish Embassy.

Furthermore, an applicant should always fill in the application him/herself and use his/her own contact details; this ensures that the applicant receives all important information directly from the UAS.

Oamk has official partnership with five private educational agencies. Agencies outside the list are not recommended.

The best way to get the reliable information is to contact directly to the Admission Services of Oamk admissions@oamk.fi. 

Applicants not satisfied with the results of the student selection process should in the first instance contact the Admissions Services at admissions@oamk.fi.

If the matter is not resolved thus, the applicant may send a written appeal to the Admission Services within 14 days after the results of the student selection have been published. The appeal must be directed to the Rector of Oulu University of Applied Sciences and primarily sent by email to admissions@oamk.fi. Alternatively the appeal may be sent by post to the following address:

Oulu University of Applied Sciences
Admissions Services
P.O. BOX 405

N.B. The appeal must be signed by the applicant. Oulu University of Applied Sciences takes no responsibility for delays caused by the postal delivery services.
