Transfer Students

Use the transfer application if you want to:

• Change your right to study for a bachelor’s or master’s degree from another Finnish University of Applied Sciences (UAS) to KAMK.
• Change your degree programme within KAMK, resulting in a different degree or degree title.

Starting from 1 Jan 2025, applicants from outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland are required to pay an application fee in order to apply to higher education studies. Read more about the application fee.

The tuition fee is charged from non-EU/EEA students who have started their studies in degree programmes offered in English on 1 August 2017 or after that. Read more about the tuition fees and scholarships at KAMK.

If you wish to change your degree within KAMK from, for example, from a business degree  to another business degree (e.g. Esports to International Business), it is not a transfer application but an internal transfer, the procedures of which are defined in the degree regulations. The contact person is the Study Counselor.
