Students transfering from other Finnish UAS

The term transfer student refers to a student with a study right at a Finnish university of applied sciences (UAS) who wishes to transfer from one Finnish UAS to another Finnish UAS. Transferring also applies to part-time studies, international degree programmes and professional higher education studies. University students and students studying at a foreign UAS cannot be accepted as transfer students.

A student can apply for transfer from one Finnish UAS to HAMK UAS only within the same degree title and degree programme.

Transferring from one degree programme to another at HAMK UAS

At universities of applied sciences, students can transfer from one degree programme to another within the same field of study to complete the same degree only if the selection criteria has been the same.

Transfer from one field of study to another (for example from BEng to BBA) requires the normal application process (entrance examination).

Eligibility

• The student has studied for at least one year at the starting UAS
• The student has completed at least 45 credits / academic year
• The student has passed the same entrance examination or an entrance examination accepted by HAMK on the basis of entrance examination co-operation
• The student must have enough right to study periods left, so that the student is able to complete the degree within the right to study periods. The right to study period started from the day the student first accepted the study place at the previous UAS. HAMK UAS will check the periods of attendance/non-attendance already spent by the student.

Students who have resigned (right-to-study period has ended or student has resigned)

A student who has resigned from a UAS must apply again through the normal application process (entrance examination).
