Requirements

An applicant who already has an appropriate Bachelor's/Master's degree may apply for a Master's degree program. The appropriate degrees are defined in the Admission Guide. If you know Finnish, please go to the Finnish webpage, even if planning to apply to a Master's degree program taught in English. This site is only for applicants who do not know Finnish.

The Master of Science (Economics and Business Administration) degree is a higher academic degree (second-cycle degree) in Finland and equals to 120 ECTS credits which corresponds to two years of full-time studying. The student may also be assigned supplementary studies (max 60 ECTS credits). Studying towards the Master's degree does not suit students working full time. Depending on the course, the lectures may be during the daytime or also in the evening.

Language Test requirements in 2011

When applying to English degree programs, a language certificate is needed. Only the following test results and levels are accepted:

* IELTS, result 6.5
* Toefl iBT, result 92 (Toefl PBT 580, Toefl CBT 236)
* Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE), grade A, B or C

IELTS and Toefl certificates are valid for two years, thus the oldest test result which is acceptable in the 2011 Master’s admissions is the result dated on 28 February 2009. CAE and CPE are valid forever, thus there are no restrictions for the oldest date in them.
A language test is not needed only in the following cases:

* The applicant has completed a degree in Finnish, Swedish or English at a university or university of applied sciences located in Finland.
* The applicant has completed a degree in English at a university or university of applied sciences located in the EU or EEA (European Economic Area) country. The language of education being English has to be stated in the diploma, its enclosure, transcript or a separate official document given by the university or university of applied sciences.
* The applicant has completed a degree in English at a university or university of applied sciences located in the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand.
