Selection of Students

For the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes taught in English, the University of Tampere receives the preprocessed application documents from the University Admissions Finland service (UAF).

Students will be selected on the basis of their application documents - there is no entrance examination and no fixed quota for international students at the University of Tampere. The decisions on acceptance of international students are made by the school concerned. The number of accepted students is based on the resources available in the school in question.

The competition is high as the number of eligible applications annually exceeds the number of students that can be accepted. Please be assured that all applicants will be treated equally on the basis of their qualifications and abilities in relation to the programme of study applied for.
