Entry requirements for Irish students

• Finland accepts the Leaving Certificate as a foreign school qualification that gives eligibility for higher education in the country where it was awarded. No Finnish body sets minimum Leaving Cert grades, subjects or Higher/Ordinary levels, and CAO points are not used. KAMK’s certificate-based ranking in the joint application covers only the Finnish matriculation exam, IB, EB and German Abitur, so Irish applicants are ranked on the International UAS Exam or on SAT scores. Confirm with admissions@kamk.fi.
• Joint application: take the online International UAS Exam (23 March 2027) or submit SAT scores with at least 400 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and 400 in Maths, sent to code 7787 by 29 March 2027. Rolling admission (graduates only): certificate-based selection with a minimum 54% grade average plus an interview, or the SAT.
• All applicants must prove their English, including native speakers. For the UAS Exam route KAMK accepts an internationally recognised test or previous studies in English. Under the UAS rules, EU schooling taught and assessed entirely in English can count if your documents show it. Get a school letter confirming this, because the Leaving Cert certificate does not state it. SAT applicants do not need to show separate English proof.

Costs

• No tuition fee for EU/EEA citizens. KAMK charges tuition (10,000 euro a year for bachelor’s degrees) only to non-EU/EEA students. The Finnish application fee (100 euro) also applies only to applicants from outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland. If you use the SAT route, you pay the College Board’s own test fee.
