Students who have completed all the studies required for the bachelor's or master's degree should register for the graduation ceremony by filling out a registration form for the Master's degree (rtf) / registration form for the Bachelor's degree (rtf) and submitting it together with a transcript to the Faculty Study Office (Unioninkatu 37). If you are registering for the Master's degree, please remember to include a copy of your Bachelor's degree, too.

Students should make sure that all their marks are in the registry and all the study-blocks correctly included (i.e. individual courses of one's major and minor studies ought to be "wrapped" under the headlines of basic and intermediate studies or advanced studies by the department in question) and consult the International Coordinator at least a month before the deadline. An up-to-date transcript has to be taken along and it has to include all the studies needed for that particular degree.

Please see the deadlines for submitting the graduation form and the dates for collecting your diploma at the Faculty Office in the table below.
