New student original documents

All documents will be checked by comparing the originals at orientation to your application attachment copies. All student selections are conditional until a reliable match can be made.

Document check

Bachelor’s degrees: Have with you all the original upper secondary diploma and transcript you have referred to and attached to your application or sent to TAMK Admissions during or after the application period. If you graduate from outside Finland between conditional acceptance and study start, please send the documents as soon as they are ready as email attachments and bring originals with you.

Master’s degrees: Have with you all the original Bachelor’s degree certificate and transcript you have referred to and attached to your application or sent to TAMK Admissions during or after the application period. 

Work experience documentation is only required for checks if you are in the process or gathering the required 24 months by 31 July, so it has not been available for verification when sending you a conditional offer. Provide the original documentation (company letterhead, signed and stamped) for this unverified portion at the orientation.

Professional Teacher Education: All the necessary documents have been checked during the application period.

Accreditation of previous studies

If you have previous university level studies, you can in some cases present them to the head of your degree programme for evaluation of accreditation. To submit these requests, you should first get acquainted with your curriculum on TAMK's Stydy Guide. During your orientation, you will have the opportunity to meet with your study counsellor to formulate a plan for accreditation.

If you have any questions about accreditation or you are unsure which courses could be transferred to TAMK, please contact your study counsellor ahead of time to book an appointment and avoid the rush during orientation week. Contact details are in the programme specific instructions.
