Please note that you must attach a medical certificate or other equivalent attestation on the nature of your disability or disease. The statement should clearly state why you need individual arrangements and explicitly detail the type of individual arrangements recommended for you. 

Please attach copies of attestations that support your request (e.g. medical certificate or equivalent statement on the nature of your disease or disability, or certificate on dyslexia or learning difficulty). If it is written on another language than Finnish, Swedish or English, the applicant has to provide, in addition to the original attestation or statement, a translated copy of the document with an authorized translator’s name, signature and stamp.

The statement should clearly state why you need individual arrangements and explicitly detail the type of individual arrangements recommended for you. Those who request support measures, such as additional time, on the grounds of dyslexia have to attach a statement of a trained special needs teacher, an expert psychologist, speech therapist or specialist medical doctor (e.g. child neurologist, neurologist or phoniatrician). The UAS may accept an equivalent decision made by The Finnish Matriculation Examination Board if it contains the granted support measures.

The validity of statements is assessed on a case-by-case basis depending on the persistence of disability, disease or learning difficulty. For dyslexia, only statements that have been obtained at the age of 16 or later are considered. Do not send original certificates but be prepared to present the originals at the start of your studies should you become accepted to the study programme. Information related to your health shall be kept secret (Section 24, Act on the Openness of Government Activities).

Before submitting the request, please check that Oulu University of Applied Sciences (Oamk) is the first university of applied sciences using the International UAS Exam on your application in Studyinfo. 

Submit your request, with the necessary attachments, by 28 January 2026 at 15:00 Finnish time (UTC/GMT+2).

Oamk will contact you by e-mail before the entrance examination, to agree upon practical arrangements. The announcement on individual arrangements for the entrance exam is exam-specific and valid only in that particular entrance exam.
