The postgraduate (Master’s) application requirements for international students at Karelia University of Applied Sciences are designed to ensure applicants have both academic qualifications and relevant work experience.

To apply, candidates must hold a recognized Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field, which makes them eligible for higher education in their home country.

In addition, Karelia requires applicants to have at least two years of relevant work experience after completing their bachelor’s degree, which is a standard requirement for Universities of Applied Sciences in Finland.

Applicants must submit their application through the national portal Studyinfo during official admission periods and, for non-EU/EEA students, pay a €100 application fee.

Students are also required to provide proof of English language proficiency, which is mandatory for admission consideration and for participating in the selection process.

Admission to master’s programmes (such as Sustainability Management) is typically based on a selection method that may include a pre-assignment and an interview, rather than a written entrance exam. Applicants must upload all necessary documents, including degree certificates, transcripts, proof of work experience, and language test results, and final certificates must be verified before enrollment.
