About the course

A 240 ECTS creative media degree at TAMK’s Mediapolis campus. You develop ideas into artistic, technical and commercially workable products and choose one of three paths: Interactive Media, Music and Event Production, or Fine Art Lab.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • TAMK publishes no specific Leaving Certificate rules. In Finland a completed Leaving Cert that meets Irish entry requirements gives general eligibility, but CAO points and H/O grades are not used for ranking. Confirm with TAMK admissions (admissions.tamk@tuni.fi).
  • Selection is by a pre-task assignment submitted with your application, followed by an online interview with academic staff for the top candidates. No Leaving Cert subject requirement is listed.
  • English: no English certificate is required for this programme. Your English is assessed through the pre-task and interview, and TAMK says excellent English is needed.
