Applying for studies at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences
Bachelor's degree studies (in Finnish)
Eligibility for admission is achieved if the applicant has completed secondary education and holds a school-leaving certificate which qualifies him/her to enter an institution of higher education which is considered to be of the same standard as the University of Turku in his/her home country. The language of instruction at the Bachelor' s level is Finnish, and therefore it is also necessary that the applicant is fluent in Finnish.
Master's degree studies
Applicants holding a Bachelor's degree from a full university (i.e. an institution of higher education offering a doctorate), which formally qualifies the student to access Master level studies, may apply for Master's degree studies in English. The Bachelor's degree must correspond to the level of a Bachelor's degree awarded by a Finnish university in terms of the extent (at least 180 ECTS (European credits) or three years of full-time study).
The Faculty offers four Master's degree programmes, where the language of instruction is English. In addition, there is an intake to the astronomy track at Master level in the Degree programme of Physical Sciences. It usually takes about two years to complete the Master's Degree within the programmes.
- Master's Degree Programme in Bioinformatics
- Master's Degree Programme in Environmental Sciences
- Master's Degree Programme in Embedded Computing
- Master's Degree Programme in Information Technology
- Master's Degree in Physical Sciences, Astronomy track
Non-degree studies (exchange students)
It is also possible to study just part of your degree at our Faculty. The University of Turku accepts students for non-degree studies normally under exchange arrangements only. If you come to Turku through an exchange programme such as ERASMUS, NORDPLUS, ISEP, North-South, north2north, a CIMO scholarship or a bilateral agreement between your home institution and the University of Turku, you are an exchange student.
