Haaga-Helia UAS will be able to consider a transfer if there is a vacant study place in the right semester in the degree programme. N.B. It depends on the content, amount and quality of the completed studies if the courses are suitable for a certain vacant study place on a certain semester.

You must have

• been registered as an attending student for at least one semester by the beginning of the next semester in Haaga-Helia and
• completed enough courses in order to be able to complete the new degree programme in standard study time. Please note that the degree programme will also evaluate the quality and suitability of your studies, not just the amount of credits.

Transfer student's study right is determined by the degree to which he/she has transferred. The semesters during which you have been enrolled as attending or non-attending during your previous study right will be included when determining the remaining study time of the degree to which you have been transferred.

The admission requirements will be published in Studyinfo about a month before the application period begins.

Save the required documents online to your application in Studyinfo. If you cannot submit the documents online, please deliver them directly to Haaga-Helia UAS Admission Services by email.

• The educational diploma that gave you eligibility to higher education (e.g. high school diplomas completed outside Finland). If you have completed a Finnish matriculation examination after the year 1990 or vocational education after year 2017, you do not have to attach your certificate to the application. We can check these certificates from studyinfo database.
• Officially signed and stamped certificate of enrollment containing attendance record.
• Officially signed and stamped transcript of records and a list of ongoing courses (personal study plan).
• Reasons for applying for transfer
• If necessary, a document verifying exemption from tuition fee payment.

The selection process may include an interview.

A study place accepted through transfer admission will also affect your status as first-time applicant.

If you have accepted a study place in Finland in an UAS or university in a degree programme which started in autumn 2014 or later, you will not be a first-time applicant.

Higher education institutions have to reserve study places for those, who do not hold a higher education qualification or a higher education study place in Finland.
