Admission Services Team

We coordinate, execute ja develop the admission processes and applicant guidance of JYU's Finnish-taught bachelor's and master's programmes, master's programmes and open university route programmes. Additionally, we work as specialists in the field of student selection both internally at JYU and externally in nationwide cooperation groups. We also direct our team's expertise towards JYU's English-taught master's programmes and we collaborate closely with the International Student Admissions team.
