Confirming your study place

Applicants can only accept an offer from one institution; the option they have placed highest in their application and to which they have enough points to be admitted. Please read about the one study place per term provision.

If you have received an offer from Diak and wish to accept it, you need to do that as well as register as present or absent for the academic year 2019/2020 by 8 July 2019 by 3:00pm Finnish time.

Reserve list

If the official result email states that you are on the reserve list, you can still be accepted as a student.

Acceptance from the reserve list ends on 31 July 2019 or earlier, if the openings in the degree programme are filled before that. If you are accepted from the reserve list, you will receive an email confirmation.
