FAQ: attachments for bachelor's applicants

No. When you submit your application you do not have to send us any paper copies. Depending on the qualification, you may be required to enter scanned copies of educational documents to your online application form on Studyinfo. In most cases attachments are required. Regular scanned copies (pdf form) of your documents are sufficient.

All application documents must be available in Finnish, Swedish or English. If the original document was written in some other language, an official translation of the documents must be submitted.

The translation is official if it has been done by the educational institution that awarded the degree or by a certified translator (authorised translator). The certified translator’s stamp and/or signature must be on the translation. If the translation consists of multiple pages, each page must contain either the signature or the stamp of the translator.

Submit scanned copies of the official translations. In addition to translations, submit copies of the original documents in the original language; translations by themselves are insufficient.

We do not require translations of International Baccalaureate-, European Baccalaureate- and Reifeprüfung/Deutsches Internationales Abitur Diplomas.

Any documents that have not been translated according to our requirements will not be considered in the admission process.

We do not give any extensions to our deadlines. The applicant is responsible for reading the instructions on our website and submitting the necessary documents according to our requirements in time to meet the given deadline(s). 

We do not make any extensions to our deadlines, even if the delay was caused by a third party, such as the SAT or ACT test organiser, the applicant’s former educational institution, or by the applicant's illness or any other unexpected event. For this reason, we advise applicants to start preparing the necessary documents well in advance of the deadline.
