An applicant may submit only one application and apply for only one degree programme per application period. It is not possible to change the degree programme chosen after the processing of the application has begun at Metropolia.
The study places are filled in the order in which applications are received, which is why applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible after meeting the eligibility and student selection requirements. Submitting an application before meeting the eligibility and student selection criteria will result in rejection of the application. If the application is rejected, the applicant cannot re-apply before the start of the next application period.

Once the application has been submitted, an applicant can return to his or her application by using:
Documents delivered after the deadline will not be considered. Possible delays or problems in getting the required certificates in time do not take away applicant's responsibility of delivering all the required documents by the deadline. If the required documents are not provided by the given deadline, the application will be rejected. If the application is rejected, the applicant cannot re-apply before the start of the next application period.
The study place is conditional until Metropolia has checked/verified the documents and information provided in connection with the application. Metropolia may withdraw the admission, if an applicant has given false information or does not deliver all the required documents by the deadline.
This student selection process is carried out as flexible admission (i.e. rolling admission), which means that the student selection decisions will be made upon receipt of applications. Metropolia strives to make the student selection decisions as quickly as possible, but how quickly a student selection decision can be made depends on several different factors such as completeness of the application, which student selection method(s) the applicant has chosen, holiday seasons etc. As a result, making a student selection decision can take anything from a few days to over two months. The only way for an applicant to speed up the processing of his / her application is to provide all the required information and documents as soon as possible.
All eligible applicants who meet the student selection criteria will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis (= in the order of which the applications have been received) until the study places have been filled. Student selection requirements vary depending on the chosen degree programme and student selection method(s) as described below in section Degree Programme Specific Admission Criteria.
Once the student selection decision has been made, a written notice of the student selection decision and it's grounds will be sent to the e-mail address provided in the application. Eligibility check can be left undone if it is clear that the student selection criteria are not or cannot be met or if the study placed are full.
Please note that the study place is conditional until the relevant certificates and information provided on the application have been checked. Metropolia may withdraw the admission if an applicant has given false information or does not deliver all the required documents by the deadline.
