Entrance Examination

Mon the 10th of September 2018 at 17.00-20.00

You should register for the entrance examination by the 31st of August 2018 through the Summer University exam calendar. The exact classroom for the exam will be informed on the same site later. The exams will be arranged at the Oulu University. Entrance exam will be charged separately from the Basic Studies.

The entrance examination is a written exam and consists of two or three different writing tasks of various length (approx. 300–400 words). The examination is in English. The maximum number of points in the written examination is 40 points. Please note that the applicant cannot consult the reading materials during the examination.

The aim of the entrance examination is to test the applicant’s ability to grasp the content presented in the reading materials and accordingly apply it in the writing tasks. To be considered for admission, the applicant must score at least 50% of the available points in each of the written tasks. The assessment of the written tasks will focus on the following issues:

1. content – the relevance and accuracy of the answers
2. language – the grasp of vocabulary and grammatical precision, the ability to write clearly, fluently and flawlessly
3. structure and organization – the logical presentation and overall coherence of the argumentation
