Entry requirements for Irish students

• Finland accepts a foreign school-leaving qualification if it gives access to higher education in the country where it was awarded. A completed Leaving Certificate that meets Irish entry rules should count. Finland sets no minimum grades or Higher/Ordinary levels and does not use CAO points. Haaga-Helia’s joint application ranks only Finnish Matriculation, IB, EB, Abitur and Finnish vocational results, so Leaving Cert holders need to use rolling admission instead.
• Haaga-Helia says applicants without those certificates can apply through rolling admission ‘with SAT test or specific certificate-based selection and interview’. Confirm the SAT minimums and how Leaving Cert grades are assessed in the Studyinfo admission criteria or with Admission Services.
• English: Finnish UAS accept upper secondary schooling in the EU ‘taught and assessed entirely in English’, with the language shown on your documents. Ask your school for a letter confirming this. Gaelscoil students should expect to need IELTS or TOEFL.

How to apply

1. Check the rolling admission criteriaRead the programme’s Studyinfo admission criteria to see whether you should use SAT scores or certificate-based selection with an interview.
2. Prepare documentsGather your Leaving Cert results or predicted results, a school letter confirming you were taught in English, and SAT scores if you are using them.
3. Apply in rolling admissionApply between 30 October 2026 and 12 May 2027 (15:00 Finnish time) using the form linked from the programme page. Applying early is sensible.
4. Interview and final resultsAttend an interview if you are invited. If you receive an offer, ask Admission Services when you must send your final Leaving Cert results.
