If you have completed your degree in a Finnish university or university of applied sciences, you are exempt from having to submit officially certified (attested) and/or legalised copies of your educational documents. Tampere University can verify your educational documents using a national database, with few exemptions as stated in the country-specific requirement for Finland.
Applicants in the final year of their bachelor’s degree due to graduate in the spring/summer of 2025 and who have received an offer of acceptance must graduate and deliver officially certified copies of educational documents no later than 18 August 2025.
Educational documents to be submitted:
1. An officially certified and/or legalised copy of the original bachelor’s degree certificate in the original language
2. An officially certified and/or legalised copy of the official transcript of records of the bachelor’s degree in the original language
3. Official translation of the bachelor’s degree certificate AND of the transcript of records unless originals have been issued in English, Finnish or Swedish

4. Officially certified and/or legalised copies of these educational documents in addition to the documents listed above.
The preferred methods of delivering officially certified and/or legalised documents are submitting electronically verifiable documents or requesting the awarding institution to deliver the documents by email directly to the Admissions Services.
If you are unable to submit your educational documents using the abovementioned methods, it is also possible to post the officially certified and/or legalised documents. When submitting documents by post, documents of degrees awarded in certain countries must be submitted according to the country-specific requirements. The country-specific requirements may apply to one or all of the required documents. Please note that if there are country specific requirements only for some of the documents, the other documents must be submitted according to the general requirements.
