The Development Project for Student Selection in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) in 2017-2019 aims to produce a selection process that is more applicant-friendly, cost efficient, simple, and digitally advanced than the current process.
Goal
The purpose of the project is to develop and create new selection procedures and models that expedite the applicants’ path to universities of applied sciences and open up new ways of becoming a degree student. Digital solutions will be applied in the development work. The execution of the project also involves cooperation with the University of Helsinki's student admissions development project.
The Development Project for Student Selection in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences in 2017-2019 currently comprises four sub-projects:
- Development of certificate-based selections
- Development and digitalisation of entrance examinations
- Development of other competence-based selection methods
- Development of student selection guidance and communications
Metropolia UAS has the main coordination responsibility of the project. The project is executed in wide-ranging cooperation with universities of applied sciences.
