Application Process
Application to our bilateral double degrees is similar to the process for our incoming exchange students. For more information, please visit the webpage below.
In addition to following the incoming exchange application process, students will also need to apply in Studyinfo.fi as a double degree student between 23-30 April 2025. After receiving the nomination from the sending insitution, students will be contacted and informed by Centria regarding the details.
Students who are enrolled in their 2nd or 3rd year of studies in their home institution, have the possibility to apply for a double degree programme in Centria University of Applied Sciences, in case there is a previously signed, valid double degree agreement between the institutions. The study period in Finland would take place either in the 3rd or 4th year of studies.
To be eligible to apply for the double degree programme, students are required to be pre-selected and nominated by their home institutions to eduexpo@centria.fi, based on the agreement in place. As a general requirement, students can be selected by their home institution, if they have successfully passed their previous courses in their home institution by the time their studies in Finland would begin. Regarding prior studies, students are expected to have at least score “C” (3) on average, according to the ECTS grading scale. In addition to this, students should have sufficient English language skills to be able to commence studies in Centria. This has to be equivalent to our requirement for international full degree students, which is one of the following:
- IELTS Academic: a minimum total score of 6.0 (Test sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking)
- TOEFL Academic (iBT): a minimum total score of 60 (Test sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing)
- PTE Academic: a minimum total score of 55 (Test sections: Speaking and Writing, Reading, and Listening)
- Cambridge English Scale Score: a minimum total score of 169 (Test sections: Reading and Use of English, Writing, Listening, and Speaking)
The application will take place online in Studyinfo.fi between 23-30 April 2025. After receiving the nomination from the sending insitution, students will be contacted and informed by Centria regarding the details.
Once the application period is over, Centria’s Admissions Team will check the eligibility of applicants and interview requests will be sent to qualified students. During the interview, students have the possibility to express their motivation to the teachers responsible for the degree in question, talk about their personal study plans, and to prove their English language skills.
Those who have successfully passed the interviews will receive a conditional offer from Centria UAS to be a double degree student. Applicants will know whether they are admitted or rejected by 28 May 2025 the latest. The study place is conditional until applicants accept the offered study place in Studyinfo.fi, and pay the tuition fee for the double degree, according to the agreement between the institutions. The deadline for accepting the offered study place and paying the tuition fee is 10 July 2025, 3 pm Finnish time.
