So-called SORA legislation applies to education leading to a degree in universities of applied sciences in the field of social services and health care. These fields have requirements concerning the safety of minors, patient and customer safety or traffic safety which restrict student admission. In this case, it is required that the health and functional capacity of approved applicants is such that they are able to take part in the practical assignments or training related to the studies.
The results of the separate application are published according to the same schedule as the results of the joint application. (spring application period: in the beginning of July, autumn application period: in the end of November.) The applicant is notified about the decision by e-mail and Studyinfo.fi. The deadline for accepting the study place is the same as in joint application.
