- The Degree Programme will use Metropolia’s own entrance examination for Information Technology and Media Engineering Degree Programmes. Other entrance examination results will not be considered.
- The English language test is compulsory for all applicants in the entrance examination; exemption is not possible.
- School performance points will not be considered but the student selections will be made solely on the basis of entrance examination results.
