Selection method 1: GMAT and GRE-test

Applicants that do not have a Finnish UAS Bachelor's degree can be selected based on their result in the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT/GMAT Focus Edition) or the Graduate Records Examinations (GRE).

The minimum test score that the applicant must reach in order to be qualified for selection is 500 from the GMAT test. Scores from the GMAT Focus Edition and the GRE-test are converted to GMAT scores and applicants are ranked based on their converted test score in the admission process.

The GMAT Focus Edition are converted to GMAT Exam scores by using the Concordance Table. Please note that where scores overlap in the concordance tables, the scores will be converted in favour of the candidate.

The GRE test result must be converted to GMAT test result by using the GRE Comparison Tool. When converting the score, only the Verbal Reasoning Score and Quantitative Reasoning Score of the GRE test are taken into consideration.

Selection method 2: Certificate-based selection based on a Finnish UAS Bachelor's degree

Applicants that have a UAS Bachelor's degree completed in Finland can be admitted based on their UAS Bachelor's degree certificate. Note! UAS Master's degrees are not considered.

Applicants with an UAS Bachelor's degree certificate are ranked by their weighted average grade with two decimals.The weighted average grade is calculated from the UAS Bachelor's degree course grades which are visible in the My Studyinfo service in the section My completed studies (only available in Finnish/Swedish).

To be considered in this selection method, the applicant must save a link to the degree information found in the My Studyinfo service in the joint application form. The applicant should also submit a copy of his or her degree certificate appendix. The weighted average grade will be calculated based on the degree certificate appendix only if the information about the degree and course grades is not available in the My Studyinfo service.

If the applicant has completed more than one UAS Bachelor degree, the grades are considered for the degree which gives a better average. The courses within courses shown in the service are not included in the grade average. The verbally assessed courses are not considered in calculating the grade average (e.g. approved/pass / hyväksytty/suoritettu/godkänd).

When calculating the weighted average grade, the numerically assessed study units are weighted; in other words, the grade for the study unit is multiplied by the number of credits received from course in question. The weighted grades are calculated together and the total is divided by the number of credits received from the numerically assessed courses. The result is a weighted average grade rounded to two decimal places.
