Information on conditional acceptance
According to Sibelius Academy’s admissions requirements 2025, all applicants applying for a bachelor’s and master’s degree, or only a master’s degree at Sibelius Academy are required to have an educational background and language skills relevant to the degree programme in question.
A conditionally accepted applicant who fails to produce the required documents before the deadline will lose their conditional study place in the Sibelius Academy.
Background education
If you complete one of the degrees mentioned below only after the application period ends, the decision on your admittance is conditional. In this case, you must submit a copy of your degree certificate to the Sibelius Academy after you graduate, but no later than 10 July 2025 at 3pm EEST (Finnish time). Sibelius Academy may, at its discretion, also accept a temporary certificate issued by the educational institution if it indicates that the applicant has completed all studies required for the degree and will receive the degree certificate later.
To be eligible to study for a combined Bachelor and Master of Music degree (3 + 2.5 years) or for a Bachelor of Arts degree (3 years) at the Sibelius Academy you need to have completed at least one of the following:
- The Finnish Matriculation Examination
- An International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma
- A European Baccalaureate (EB) diploma at a European School
- A Reifeprüfung or Deutsche Internationale Abitur diploma
- A Finnish vocational upper secondary qualification, a further vocational qualification, or a specialist vocational qualification defined under the Act on Vocational Education and Training (531/2017)
- A foreign degree or qualification that makes you eligible for corresponding higher education in the awarding country
- A Cambridge Advanced International Certificate (AICE)
- A degree at a Finnish higher education institution or a degree abroad corresponding to at least a bachelor’s degree
- In addition, a person who has been granted the right to study in a university in Finland is eligible to apply

- A lower university degree in music (Bachelor)
- A university of applied sciences degree in music
- A foreign degree or qualification in music that provides eligibility for corresponding higher education studies in the awarding country

You must demonstrate your skills with a successfully completed language proficiency test, previous qualifications, or with other prior studies. If the degree programme is organised in multiple languages, you are only required to demonstrate your language proficiency in the language with which you applied to study.
If you demonstrate your language skills with studies that you complete after the application period, your admittance will be conditional with respect to language skills. In this case, you must submit the required certificate demonstrating your proficiency to the Sibelius Academy as soon as possible, but no later than 10 July 2025 at 3pm EEST (Finnish time).

How to confirm your study place
You need to accept the study place no later than 10 July 2025 at 3pm EEST (Finnish time) or you will lose your place (Universities Act 38 § / Polytechnics Act 28 c). If the confirmation arrives late, it will not be considered.

You may accept only one study place leading to a higher education degree in Finland that begins in the same academic term (1 August – 31 December). For more information, see: One study place per academic term.
If you have a Finnish personal identity code, you can accept the offer of admission using the MyStudyinfo service. If you do not have access to the required methods of identification to use the MyStudyinfo service, contact the Admissions Office by email at siba.admissions@uniarts.fi.
