For the master's degree programmes, students are selected based on the entrance examination, which has two phases. Degree Programme in Sustainable Aviation Business organises both phases online (1st phase: 11.10.2023, 2nd phase: 25.10.2023). Other master's degree programmes have a joint entrance exam, where the second phase is organised on-site in Helsinki (1st phase 12.10.2023 online, 2nd phase 26.10.2023 on Pasila campus). Also, remember to submit your CV by 21 September 2023, 3.00 PM Finnish time.
