FAQ: applying for bachelor's programmes

If you are a final-year student and the qualification used to prove your eligibility is still incomplete at the time of application, you can be admitted on the these conditions:

•  you graduate and
• submit the required final educational documents/information according to JYU’s admissions timetable. 

If you fail to do so, your admission will be cancelled. If you graduate later or the necessary documents cannot be issued in time for you to meet our deadlines, then please wait until 2027 to apply.  

In the application phase, you are required to submit all the other required attachments except for final educational documents. Instead, you will be asked to provide information on your unfinished degree on the application form.

 How to apply 

Starting on 1 January 2025 and onwards, non-European Union/EEA citizens must pay an application fee when applying for programmes leading to a degree in higher education (excluding doctoral degrees and Erasmus Mundus programmes).

Finnish or European Union citizens are not liable to pay the fee. Those who have a residence card for a family member of an EU citizen in Finland, a European Union Blue Card, a continuous residence permit granted on grounds other than studies, a permanent Finnish residence permit or a long-term resident's EU residence permit are also exempted from the fee. The same applies to those under temporary protection, who do not have to pay the application fee.

Application fee is 100 euros.

After paying the application fee, you can apply in all applications in which studies start in the same academic term, including different universities.
