ADMISSION CRITERIA  IN 2010

Seinäjoki UAS follows the general admission criteria decided on by the UASs in the joint application system for the bachelor-degrees conducted in English. This criteria applies to both the Degree Programme in International Business and the Degree Programme in Nursing.

Fifty per cent of the applicants will be admitted on the basis of the entrance examination only, and 50 % on the basis of the combined points for previous school performance and the entrance examination. If openings become available later, applicants in reserve places will be admitted in the order indicated by their admission points. The Polytechnics Act (351/2003) contains the groups that are eligible to study at a UAS.
