Accepting the offered study place

You need to accept the offered study place no later than 11 July 2024 at 3pm EET (local Finnish time) or you will lose your place. If the applicant has been deemed as conditionally eligible in the first phase of the admissions process, they must submit a degree certificate which proves that they will have the required educational background or language proficiency by the time they accept the study place.

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. The paper form must be delivered to Uniarts Helsinki Admissions Office (admissions@uniarts.fi). If the confirmation form arrives late, it will not be considered.

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.
