If you are an applicant in the final semester of your upper secondary education, you are also eligible to apply. The previous degree must be completed before studies in the programme begin.

An applicant may not be granted a new right to study towards an equivalent degree for which they already hold the right to study or they have already completed, unless otherwise stipulated by the admission requirements of the faculty in question.
