Bachelor’s Degree Certificate

When applying for a bachelor’s degree certificate, first answer the national Finnish Bachelor’s Graduate Survey at https://kandipalaute.fi/en. After answering, you will be directed to the bachelor’s degree certificate application. If you are not able to answer the survey, please contact kandipalaute@uniarts.fi.

Answering the Bachelor’s Graduate Survey takes 15 to 20 minutes. The results of the survey will be used to develop the education at the university. The Bachelor’s Graduate Survey is a part of the universities’ funding model: The results and response rate affect the amount of total funding the university receives, so the responses are valuable in this way, too. The University of the Arts cannot connect given answers to individual students.
