Information on conditional acceptance
According to Sibelius Academy’s admissions requirements 2024, all applicants applying for a bachelor’s and master’s degree or only a master’s degree at Sibelius Academy are required to have an educational background and language skills relevant to the degree programme in question.
A conditionally accepted applicant who fails to produce the required documents before the deadline will lose their conditional study place in the Sibelius Academy.
Background education
If you complete one of the degrees mentioned below only after the application period ends, the decision on your admittance is conditional. In this case, you must submit a copy of your degree certificate to the Sibelius Academy after you graduate, but no later than 11 July 2024 at 3pm (Finnish time). Sibelius Academy may, at its discretion, also accept a temporary certificate issued by the educational institution if it indicates that the applicant has completed all studies required for the degree and will receive the degree certificate later.
To be eligible to study for a combined Bachelor and Master of Music degree (3 + 2.5 years) at the Sibelius Academy you need to have completed at least one of the following:
- the Finnish Matriculation Examination
- an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma
- a European Baccalaureate (EB) diploma at a European School
- a Reifeprüfung or Deutsches Internationales Abitur (RP / DIA) diploma
- a Finnish vocational upper secondary qualification, a further vocational qualification, or a specialist vocational qualification defined under the Act on Vocational Education and Training
- a foreign degree or qualification that makes you eligible for corresponding higher education in the awarding country
- a Cambridge Advanced International Certificate (AICE)
- a degree at a Finnish higher education institution or a degree abroad corresponding to at least a bachelor’s degree.
- In addition, a person who has been granted the right to study in a university in Finland is eligible to apply.
To be eligible to study for a Master of Music degree (2.5 years) at the Sibelius Academy you need to have completed at least one of the following:
- a lower university degree in music (Bachelor)
- a university of applied sciences degree in music
- a foreign degree or qualification in music that provides eligibility for corresponding higher education studies in the awarding country
- a lower university degree in another field and, additionally, higher education studies in music.
To be eligible to study for a Master of Arts degree (2 years) at the Sibelius Academy you need to have completed at least one of the following:
- an applicable lower university degree
- an applicable university of applied sciences degree
- an applicable foreign degree that provides eligibility for corresponding higher education studies in the awarding country.

If the degree programme is organised in multiple languages, you are only required to demonstrate your language proficiency in the language with which you applied to study.

In this case, you must submit the required certificate demonstrating your proficiency to the Sibelius Academy as soon as possible, but no later than 11 July 2024 at 3pm (Finnish time).
Change of main subject: conditionality
If the bachelor’s degree of a current student applying for a change of the right to study at Uniarts Helsinki is unfinished, and the change of the right to study is accepted conditionally, the fixed term for completing the degree in question is on the last day before the new right to study (31 July 2024), contrary to the selection criteria for bachelor’s and master’s education.

Accepting a study place is a binding choice, and you cannot cancel or change your choice later.

You may accept only one study place leading to a higher education degree in Finland that begins in the same academic term (1 August – 31 December).
The study place is accepted electronically in the Studyinfo portal. If you have been accepted to a study programme, you will receive an e-mail with a confirmation link (sender noreply@opintopolku.fi). Click the given link and confirm your study place.
