Always cross-check eligibility against the sponsor's official site before applying — sponsor rules can change between intakes.

• To be eligible to apply for Master's programmes, you must have completed a first academic degree, normally a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent, at an institution of higher education. The degree must be awarded by an institution that is accredited by the highest national authority responsible for education in the country of education and legally authorised to award degrees. This degree should be equivalent to at least three years of full-time studies (180 ECTS). Your previous degree must give you eligibility for Master's studies in your country of education. For Bachelor's programmes, eligibility depends on previous education such as a qualification outside Finland, Finnish matriculation examination, IB, EB, RP/DIA, AICE, or certain vocational qualifications.
