Joint application
Admissions to vocational education and training and general upper econdary education take place though the joint application. In the joint application, the applicant fills an electronic application form, marked with five preferred study programmes.
The electronic application form is submitted at www.opintopolku.fi (in Finnish), www.studieinfo.fi (in Swedish) or www.studyinfo.fi (in English). It is possible to practice filling the form before the actual application period in the same electronic system.
