Invitations to FINNIPS Entrance Examinations Abroad
All eligible applicants for in Environmental Engineering and Maritime Management will be invited to the entrance examinations in Finland. If the eligible applicants' home address mentioned in the application is one of the countries within the entrance examination network FINNIPS, the applicant will also be invited to the entrance examination abroad. The location to which an applicant is invited for the entrance examination may not be changed. The exact date and location for the examination abroad will be included in the personal invitations that are sent in March 2012.

Selection of Countries in the FINNIPS Network
The selection of the FINNIPS exam countries is decided on a yearly basis by FINNIPS. Accordingly, the range of the neigbouring countries from where the applicants are invited to the entrance exams arranged outside of Finland rotates along the same principle. This means that in different years applicants from different countries will get a chance to take the entrance exam in a country close to their own whereabouts. The reason for such a system is the fact that the capacities for the exams are limited and not all the candidates from all the neighbouring countries can be accommodated in the exam venues abroad. All the eligible applicants will, however, be invited to the entrance examination in Finland.
