You may receive the results for some study programmes before the results of other study programmes have been published. Remember that you can confirm to accept only one study place in studies starting in autumn academic term 2021.
SeAMK will also send an email to admitted students. If you can access My Studyinfo -service, you can follow the updates of your results there. You can always contact admissions(at)seamk.fi to ask about your results.
