If you submit unofficial copies of the required enclosures with your application and you are admitted, the admission decision will be conditional.

Notarised copies are accepted only from Finnish notaries public.  In addition to officially certified copies we accept educational documents submitted electronically through certain international services.

Please note that there are also country-specific document requirements in place for some degree-awarding countries. If you are admitted, educational documents from these countries must be attested or submitted in a certain way. These country-specific requirements must be followed first and foremost, before the regular requirements for attesting and submitting documents. Please note that for some countries the country-specific requirements only apply to certain educational documents, such as a transcript of records. In such cases, you can submit the other required documents as officially certified copies.
