As a part of the admission process, your original educational documents will be checked during your studies, preferably at the beginning of your studies. Your admission is conditional until you have presented your original educational documents and had them cross-checked against the copies that you have uploaded during the application.

Students who have been admitted to a Master's degree programme must, in addition to their educational documents, also present their original work certificates.

 

Verification of Certificates

Copies of educational certificates and work certificates in the application

When applying, you must upload copies of your educational certificates and any other certificates needed to prove your eligibility for the degree programme you are applying for, in accordance with the established eligibility requirements.

Original certificates

During your studies, your original certificates will be checked against the copies you have uploaded in your application. Please bring all original certificates you used in the application with you when you begin your studies. Your admission is conditional until your original certificates have been checked.

Your original certificates are checked by the Student Services Front Office. You can visit Student Services Front Office on all our campuses to present your original application documents, either during their opening hours or by booking an appointment.

Please note that you are not required to have your original educational certificates checked if your previous degree can be verified in the national performance register (prestationsregistret/suoritusrekisteri) or if you are admitted based on the International UAS Exam to one of the following Bachelor degree programmes: 

  • Nursing
  • Beauty Care
  • Biomedical Laboratory Science
  • Maritime Technology, daytime studies
  • Maritime Management, Captain (daytime studies)

We recommend that you present your original diplomas and work certificates in original at the beginning of your studies. Admission is conditional until you have presented your original application document, and your admission might be revoked unless you present the originals of your diplomas and work certificates or if you have provided incorrect information in the application and the correct information would not have entitled you to a study place.

If you are unsure whether you need to present your original application documents, please contact Admissions Service by email.
