To apply for a bachelor’s degree at Savonia University of Applied Sciences, international students must have completed an upper secondary qualification (high school or equivalent) that gives eligibility for higher education in their home country, such as IB, EB, or other recognized certificates.

Applicants are required to submit academic transcripts, certificates, and official translations (if not in English, Finnish, or Swedish) along with a valid passport/ID.

They must also provide proof of English language proficiency through accepted tests or prior education in English.

Admission is typically based on the International UAS Entrance Exam, though alternative routes such as SAT scores or certificate-based selection may also be used. Applications are submitted via the national portal Studyinfo.fi within the specified deadlines, and non-EU/EEA students must pay an application fee and tuition fees.
