Work experience

At least three years of work experience after graduation is required.

The work experience needs to be obtained by 31 July 2017. Only previous work experience for which you have been given a testimonial by your employer can be accepted. Entrepreneurship is accepted as work experience, if you can provide a certificate given by a designated authority (in Finland i.e. a testimonial issued by YEL or MYEL insurance).

A part-time job is converted into full-time work experience so that 150 hours or 20 full-length working days (at least 7 hours per day) are equivalent to one month. The work experience does not have to be continuous or obtained under the same employer.

Work placement or practical training are not counted towards work experience if they are included in the degree you are using as the basis for your application. Military service, non-military service or child-care leave are not counted towards work experience.
