Entry requirements - Finland

The experienced UWE Bristol International team will be happy to give you advice on the suitability of your qualifications for your chosen course.

Qualifications listed under each heading may satisfy UWE Bristol entry requirements to that level of study. This is not a guarantee of an offer of a place, which is at the University’s discretion.

Entry onto foundation courses

If you do not quite meet the entry requirements for our undergraduate courses, UWE Bristol offers foundation degrees or undergraduate degrees with foundation year entry.

Entry onto undergraduate courses

All students must also have a recognised English language qualification. A grade of 4 (C) in English in Ylioppilastutkinto/studentexamen (Matriculation Certificate) meets our English language requirement for most courses.

Holders of the Ylioppilastutkinto/studentexamen (Matriculation Certificate) are eligible to apply for a bachelor's degree.

Entry onto postgraduate courses

Holders of the one of the following qualifications are eligible to apply for a master's degree:

• Kandidaatti/Kandidat (Professional titles: Ekonomi, Diplomi-insinööri, Arkkitehti, Lisensiaatti Proviisori) with an average of 2 (scale of 1-3) or 3 (scale of 1-5)
• Maisteri/magister (higher academic degree) with an average grade of 2 (scale 1-3) or 3 (scale 1-5)
• Oikeustieteen kandidaatti/juris kandidat.

Holders of the master's degree are eligible to apply for PhD study.

Please note: Where UWE Bristol has an academic agreement in place with an institution, greater flexibility in entry requirements for undergraduate and postgraduate courses may apply as outlined in those agreements.

English language requirements

To study at UWE Bristol you must demonstrate that your English level is high enough for university study.

English language requirements vary slightly from subject to subject.

A grade of 4 (C) in English in Ylioppilastutkinto/studentexamen (Matriculation Certificate) meets our English language requirement for most courses.
