Master's Degree

You need to have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent to apply for a master's degree in Finland. University master’s degrees take 2 years of full-time study, amounting to 120 ECTS credits. UAS master's degrees take 1-1.5 years to complete, and amount to 60–90 ECTS credits.

To be eligible to apply to a UAS master’s programme, you also need to have gained at least 2 years of work experience in the field after completing your bachelor’s degree. (University Master's do not usually include this work experience requirement.)

After choosing your programs, it is easy for you to check the application period and other admission-related details with those particular universities. Usually you have to submit your application on the same website that is mentioned above. But there are some programs that require you to apply from the university's website directly (it can be in the case of a separate application)

Joint Application

With joint application you have the possibility to apply twice a year. You can use one application to apply for a maximum of 6 programs. It saves you a lot of time and simply with one application you apply for many programs. These programs can be in one university or in many universities.

Separate Application

With separate application you have to apply separately for each program. You might have to submit documents separately as well. It is always better to check the requirements from the program website.
