You can find a full list of all the required attachments in the admission criteria of the programme. We kindly ask you not to send us any other documents, as these cannot be considered and only slow down the processing of your application.
If you are a final-year student and your high school diploma, A-levels or another qualification that gives you eligibility to bachelor-level studies is still incomplete at the time of application, you can apply. However, if you are admitted, your admission will be conditional until you graduate and submit the required final educational documents to the Admission Services of the University of Jyväskylä. Required documents must arrive by given deadlines and follow our requirements, or 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 will be asked to provide information on your unfinished qualification on the application form.
