Your application will be considered once Savonia UAS has received your SAT scores directly from the College Board. Each applicant is evaluated individually on the basis of documents she/he has submitted on the application form and the SAT score. 

You can be admitted to Savonia UAS if: 

• you are eligible to apply for higher education;

• there is a study place available in the degree programme. 

The admission process is based on rolling admission, and the number of study places to each degree programme is limited. Once all available study places have been filled, no further applicants can be admitted. 

Student selection results are published on a continuous basis. If you are admitted, you will receive an offer of admission by email.

Once you have received an offer of admission, you must accept the study place within 7 days.
