Acceptance of Compulsory Courses

You can apply for transfer of credit from institutions other than MF. Upon acceptance of external credits, the courses/education that has been accepted will be included in your degree at MF. At the same time, you will be exempt from the courses that the prior education is replacing.

When processing the application, we assess whether you have achieved a specific academic level. The learning outcomes of the education for which you are applying for approval must correspond to the learning outcomes of the courses for which exemption is applied.

Please note that you must complete at least 60 credits of your degree at MF in order to receive a diploma from us.

Elective Courses/Electives in the Plan of Study

You can also apply to have credit transferred for electives if this is an option in the plan of study. The credits must come from courses taken at the same level (bachelor’s or master’s level) that do not overlap academically with the courses otherwise included in the programme. The plan of study will specify further guidelines for which courses can be approved.

Processing Time

In most cases, you will receive an answer to your application within four weeks. If not, you will be notified in more detail regarding when you can expect an answer.
