The admitted applicants will receive more information about the procedure, on accepting the study place, and on how to enroll for the academic year by e-mail.

Applicants who took part in the admission course, but were not admitted, can get feedback from members of the Admission Jury, on Tuesday 9 June 2020. Instructions on requesting feedback will be sent by e-mail to the applicants who can ask for feedback.

Accepting the offered study place

You need to accept the offered study place no later than 17 July 2020 at 3pm EET (local Finnish time) or you will lose your place.

Confirming a study place is to be done primarily electronically. If you cannot accept your study place electronically, please use the paper form that is sent to you via e-mail together with your acceptance letter. The paper form must be delivered to Uniarts Helsinki Admissions Office (admissions@uniarts.fi). If the confirmation form arrives late, it will not be considered.

Accepting a study place is a binding choice, and you cannot cancel or change your choice later. When you accept a study place bindingly, all your other study programmes will automatically be cancelled. You may accept only one study place leading to a higher education degree in Finland that begins in the same academic term.

Picking up the physical (paper) work portfolios

If the applicant wishes to get their paper portfolio back after the application process has concluded, they must collect them at the Academy of Fine Arts after 17 June 2020. Instructions regarding the precise schedule for collecting the portfolios will be sent to those applicants who have informed the Academy of their wish to retrieve their work.

If the applicant has informed the academy of their wish to have their portfolio back by mail and has paid the postage accordingly, the portfolio will be sent after the application process, i.e. after June.

Any uncollected work portfolios, and portfolios for which postage has not been paid, will be destroyed.
