Confirming your study place is done either in Studyinfo.fi or by the paper form that is sent to you via e-mail together with your acceptance letter.

Accepting a study place is a binding choice, and you cannot cancel or change your choice later. When you accept a study place bindingly, all your other study programmes will automatically be cancelled. You may accept only one study place leading to a higher education degree in Finland that begins in the same academic term.
