Matriculation examination
Taking the matriculation examination requires that the person completing the upper secondary school curriculum has studied the mandatory study units/courses in the subject for which he or she is taking the exam, according to the timetable, before taking the exam.
The principal may refuse to participate in the exam if the stipulated requirements are not met. A situation review will be conducted before the writing and the principal will notify the student through Wilma one week before the exam date if the student does not have the right to participate in the high school entrance exam.
For those starting their YO degree in spring 2022 or later
The matriculation examination must include examinations in at least five subjects. All candidates must include an examination in their mother tongue and literature. In addition, the examination must include examinations in at least four different subjects, from at least three of the following groups:
mathematics, a second Finnish language, a foreign language and science. The exams must include at least one long-term exam.
Registration for the exam is binding.
If a person who has registered for the exam fails to arrive at the exam or does not submit the exam paper for grading, the exam will be considered interrupted and failed.
The Matriculation Examination Board may, upon application, cancel the registration for a particularly weighty reason.
Compelling reasons include: illness, studying or working abroad, and a special obstacle arising from military service.
An exam for which registration has been cancelled will not be counted as a test attempt for that subject. If registration is cancelled, the fee charged for the exam will be refunded to the candidate. Cancelling registration does not extend the time required to complete the degree.
Degree fees
Anyone who has registered to take a degree or separate exams is required to pay the fees related to the matriculation examination.
The first five exams are free of charge, and retaking a failed exam is also free of charge under certain conditions.
The examination fee per exam is 38 euros.
Decentralization of the Yo qualification
The degree must be completed in a maximum of three consecutive examination periods:
- spring 2024 -> autumn 2024 -> spring 2025
- autumn 2024 -> spring 2025 -> autumn 2025
- spring 2025 -> autumn 2025 -> spring 2026
Completion of a degree is considered to have begun when the student registers for the first time for the degree matriculation examination.
