Your certificate points
Finland fills a large share of its degree places on school-leaving results alone (todistusvalinta, certificate selection). We compare your points with the lowest points admitted that way to 317 university programmes at 12 universities for autumn 2026 — but only on the table each programme actually uses.
There is no single points total in Finland
Finnish universities score the matriculation certificate on ten different tables, with maxima from 149.9 to 193.1 points, so the same certificate earns different points for different fields. A programme is compared only with the points you entered for its own table. Within a table, the most heavily weighted subject can depend on the programme (the language you apply for; biology, chemistry or physics; philosophy, history or religion), so your points can differ slightly between programmes on the same table.
Work out your points for each field you are considering from the official tables (linked beside each box), and fill in only those. Leave the rest empty.
Universities — one box per scoring table
The first group has two official pages because education, business and logopedics on one hand and languages, cultures, law and social sciences on the other publish identical points for every subject and grade. The tables are in Finnish, on yliopistovalinnat.fi, the universities' joint admissions site; group names here are our translations.
Universities of applied sciences (AMK) — a floor only
Universities of applied sciences admit matriculation certificates (scored out of 198) and vocational qualifications (scored out of 150) through separate quotas, but the statistics publish one lowest figure for both together. That figure is therefore a floor on two different scales at once: if your points are under it you were under both cut-offs, and if they are over it nothing follows — the cut-off for your own certificate may have been higher. These programmes are never shown as safe or likely.
Read this before you rely on the results
- The figure is the lowest certificate-selection (todistusvalinta) points among the applicants admitted to each programme starting in autumn 2026, from the spring 2026 joint application. It is what happened last time, not a requirement and not a prediction: it moves every year with who applies.
- 2026 is the first year universities used these tables, so there is no earlier year on the same scale to compare with.
- Certificate selection is one route among several. Entrance exams, the open-university route and separate applications are not covered, and most English-taught bachelor's programmes admit outside the joint application altogether. Programmes also set threshold conditions (a minimum grade in a named subject), language requirements and sometimes a minimum total, and many certificate quotas are reserved for first-time applicants — none of which is checked here. Where a programme has both a first-time quota and a general one, the figure is the lower of the two cut-offs.
