Apply to KAMK

All non-EU/EEA citizens selected for KAMK English-taught studies leading to a Finnish higher education degree must agree on a KAMK student agreement. The acceptance of the terms and conditions is done in StudyInfo when accepting the study place. The KAMK Student Agreement applies to students who will start their studies after 1.1.2023.

The agreement applies to Kajaani University of Applied Sciences’ tuition fees and scholarships and defines the rights and obligations of all parties and the terms under which a student may receive a scholarship for their studies in the degree programme.

The full Student Agreement

Application results for Bachelor’s degrees starting in autumn will be published in June at the latest. In addition to the message of admittance, the student will receive instructions for confirming the study place online, as well as the instructions for the first year tuition fee payment if applicable. It is imperative that the student confirms the acceptance of the study place to the higher education institution according to the given deadlines otherwise the student will lose the study place.

Confirmation of the study place is binding and cannot be altered or cancelled. If you have applied to several degree programmes, please wait until you have received all the admission results as you can only accept one new study place. Once you have received all the results, select your study place and make the confirmation online.

If you have been accepted to a higher option of preference, you cannot choose a study place from options of a lower preference. A student loses his/her study place, if the confirmation arrives at the higher education institution after the set date.

If a student has not been admitted to any of his/her study options and he/she is placed on a reserve place, he /she might be admitted on a later date. A student can also be placed on the waiting list for a reserve place if he/she has been admitted to a lower preference study place. The reserve place is for one of the higher preference options that the student has expressed in his/her joint application.

A student remains on the waiting list until July. By this date, the student is either admitted to a reserve place on the waiting list, or to the study place initially offered to him/her.

Please note that waiting lists are not available for certain degree programmes at universities.

If you believe there has been a mistake in the student selection and the admission criteria have not been applied correctly, you can make a written request for rectification to the Board of KAMK within 14 days after the student selection results have been published. Admission Services of KAMK (admissions@kamk.fi) gives advice on admission decisions and appealing procedure.

Student admission decision can be changed only if it is clearly shown that KAMK has not followed the student admission criteria.

The request for rectification must state the following:

• The name, domicile and postal address of the person requesting rectification
• the decision for which rectification is requested and the date on which this decision was received;
• the extent to which the decision is appealed against and the requested changes to the decision;
• grounds for the request.
