Conditional Admission

I am currently in my final semester of my Bachelor's degree and will graduate in June. Can I still apply during the application period in January?

• Yes, you can apply as a conditionally eligible applicant. If you are admitted, your admission will remain conditional until you graduate and submit your final degree certificate and transcript by the university's strict summer deadline (usually in July or August).

Preliminary Assessment

Can I email the admissions office my Bachelor’s transcript so they can check if I have enough credits in computer science to apply for the Master's Programme in Computer Science?

No, the university does not perform preliminary evaluations. Admission services and faculty staff cannot review your transcripts or assess your eligibility via email before you submit a formal application. Your eligibility is strictly evaluated during the official application period after you have uploaded all required documents.

Language Requirements

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in English at a university located in Bangladesh. Do I still need to take an IELTS or TOEFL test to prove my English proficiency?

• Yes, you will likely need to take an official test. The University of Helsinki explicitly lists the specific countries where a degree completed in English exempts you from a language test (such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA). Completing a degree in English in a country outside that specific list generally does not grant an exemption.
