Students are selected on the basis of their acad­e­mic perfor­mance in a foreign-language prepara­tory course for univer­sity studies, without a sepa­rate selec­tion test, accord­ing to the follow­ing selec­tion criteria:

Selec­tion criteria

Section 1: Average number of credits (30 credits in total) in foreign language prepara­tory course:

Prepa­ra­tion for higher educa­tion (6 credits), prepara­tory studies in math­e­mat­ics (3 credits), prepara­tory studies in English (6 credits), prepara­tory studies in Finnish or Swedish (5 credits) and field-specific studies (10 credits) Minimum total score 2 points.

Section 3: Grade for a math­e­mat­ics course in prepara­tory educa­tion (3 credits). Minimum total score 2 points.

The selec­tion is based on the total number of points obtained in these three sections. The total score must be at least seven points.

Scoring
Grade 5 = 5 points
Grade 4 = 4 points
Grade 3 = 3 points
Grade 2 = 2 points
Grade 1 = 0 points

 In the event of a tie, the order of prece­dence shall be deter­mined as follows:

  1. Appli­ca­tion prior­ity order
  2. Those who have completed field-specific studies in engi­neer­ing will be priori­tised for IM and ICT degrees and those who have completed busi­ness studies will be priori­tised for the IB degree.
  3. The average grade of English language courses in a prepara­tory course.

If these crite­ria do not result in a ranking, the system will choose the student to be selected by drawing lots.
