Joint applications
Studyinfo service provides information on all higher education study programmes in Finland. In Joint Application, you can apply to several study programmes and universities and universities of applied sciences with one application form. Note that you cannot change the study programmes or the order of them after the application has closed. Many higher education institutions also offer Direct Applications for their programmes. You can submit an application in Joint Application and in Direct Applications but you can only accept one offer of admission for studies beginning in the same semester.
Submit your application on Studyinfo service. A link to the Joint Application application form can be found on the front page of Studyinfo during the application period. Link to Direct Application to Xamk is published on our website. You can also find a link to all application forms on the programme descriptions on Studyinfo. Note that the application always closes on the last application day at 3 pm Finnish time. You are only allowed to submit one application form in one application.
You are asked to provide information about your personal details, email address, educational background and in some cases, work experience on the application form. If you submit more than one application, only the most recent one is considered.
Applying in the Joint Application
Applications for joint higher education admissions are made in the Studyinfo portal. The link to the joint application form can be found on the Studyinfo homepage during the application period.
You can select 1-6 study options on your application form in order of preference, meaning the order in which you hope to be admitted to them (in the first joint application of spring, the order of preferences does not matter). You cannot change, add, or remove study options after the application period has ended.
Upload any requested attachments to the application form as instructed. The application period ends at 3 PM on the last application day. Make sure you have received a confirmation email after submitting the application form.
