Joint application

Submit the online application form (available in Studyinfo) during the application period.
There are several application forms in Studyinfo at the same time, so please make sure you fill in the right one. Read the admission criteria carefully before applying.

Attach required documents to the application by the deadline (or submit them to Haaga-Helia Admission Services). The list of required documents is available in Studyinfo.

Haaga-Helia will send invitations to applicants by the deadline given in Studyinfo. If you are accepted based on your SAT test scores or higher secondary certificate scores, you do not have to participate in the entrance examination.

Participate in the entrance examination or an interview. If you apply in January, the results of the student selection will be published most likely in May. If you apply in September, the results will be published most likely in November. We always publish the results as soon as they are ready.

If the application period is ongoing, the application form is available in Studyinfo.fi. Search for the degree program and you will find the application form as well. Please note that there may be many application forms open in Studyinfo at the same time, even to the same degree programme depending on the educational background, so please make sure you fill in the right one.

In joint application to higher education in Finland, you fill in one application form and can apply with the same application for six different degree programmes in either one or several higher education institutions.

NB. It is possible that some degree programmes are not part of the joint application system. In order to apply for those, you have to fill in another (separate) application form. You may apply in the joint application and in separate application processes at the same time. Please always remember to check the eligibility requirements for each application process in Studyinfo.

If you are planning on applying for Bachelor´s degree programmes, you need to have a higher secondary certificate (e.g. high school diploma) or higher (e.g. Bachelor´s degree).

When applying for Master´s degree studies in Haaga-Helia, you need to have a Bachelor´s degree or higher and at least two years of work experience after completing the Bachelor´s degree. Relevant degree and work experience depend on the desired degree programme. Either the Bachelor’s (or higher) degree or the work experience must be from the field of degree programme.

That is OK and recognition by the Finnish National Agency for Education is not usually needed.

If you have completed a Finnish matriculation examination,  IB (International Baccalaureate), EB (European Baccalaureate), and DIA Diploma (RP Diploma, German Reifeprüfung) you can get admission just based on your high school diploma if the degree programme uses this scoring method. Please check the admission criteria for each application round and programme in studyinfo.

If you have completed some other type of high school diploma, you need to participate in the entrance examination or SAT test.

No. English language skills are evaluated in the entrance examination. If you apply with the SAT test, the test contains English tasks.

If the degree programme uses work experience as a scoring method (see Admission criteria), you can get admission points from relevant work experience. You must prove your work experience with a work certificate (reference) that indicates the time when you have been working and the content of your duties.

An application with appendices is valid only for the application period in question. Therefore all required certificates must be submitted each time you apply.

Please upload the documents to your online application, it is the safest way to submit the documents to us.
