Eligibility
Academic Requirements
School-Leaving Requirement (Main)
- A recognised upper-secondary qualification that gives eligibility for higher education in the country where it was completed is required
- Bangladeshi HSC, Alim and comparable qualifications may establish general Bachelor’s eligibility; the required certificate and official translation, where applicable, must be submitted by the application deadline
Note
Meeting general eligibility does not guarantee admission. English evidence, identity documents, International UAS Exam performance and health-related suitability requirements remain subject to the official selection rules.
Tests
Standardized Test Requirement
The programme uses the International UAS Exam, held remotely on 6 November 2026. Nursing applicants complete Reasoning, English Language, Mathematical, Ethical and Emotional Intelligence sections and must pass every required section. SAT or ACT is not used for this Joint Application route.

Good to know
Remarks & Additional Information
- The 210-ECTS bilingual degree starts mainly in English and progressively integrates Finnish. Clinical skills, simulation and supervised practice form a substantial part of the programme.
- Graduates receive a Bachelor of Health Care qualification meeting Finnish and EU nursing standards, but professional practice in Finland requires registration with the competent supervisory authority and sufficient Finnish or Swedish.
- For a Finnish study residence permit, Bangladeshi students normally need admission, compliant insurance, at least EUR 9,600 for one year’s living costs and funds for any unpaid tuition; immigration decisions remain authority-controlled.
