In addition, you must have the basic education required for the post you are applying for.
• you must have completed and registered your studies by the end date for the application. The suitability of the studies is assessed in the degree programme.
• if you apply for studies leading to a degree in the field of social and health care, the UAS has the right to obtain from the other UAS the information necessary for admission as a student about any pending proceedings concerning the withdrawal of the right to study (932/2014, §§ 33-34).
