Overhaul of certificate-based admission to universities planned for 2026
The Vice-Rectors for Education of the Rectors' Council of Finnish Universities (UNIFI) have presented a proposal for a new scoring model for certificate-based admission to universities. The aim is to ease the pressures on general upper secondary students and allow them to focus on subjects that interest them. The new scoring model is expected to be implemented from 2026 onwards, with universities making their decisions and announcing them in autumn 2023.
