Submitting the language test scores – instructions for applicants

All language test results must arrive at University Admissions Finland by 31 January 2014. It is always the applicant’s responsibility to make testing arrangements for her/himself and to make sure the test results are delivered on time. Be advised that it may take several weeks before the test results are published, and thus we recommend you to book your test well in advance.

Please note that your language test score must be valid throughout the entire application period. This means that if your language test expires even 1 day before the final application deadline, your language test score will not meet the requirements set by the programme. Please check the validity of your test score and make arrangements for a new language test well in advance, if necessary.

When filling out the TOEFL Registration Form, please fill in University Admission Finland's Institution Code 3138 in the Score Report Recipient field.

When filling out the IELTS Application Form to take the test, please address the test results to University Admissions Finland (UAF).

Test results for PTE Academic are typically available within 5 working days following the test session. Once you receive your test score send it to University Admissions Finland from your PTE account. Choose Finland as the ‘Country’, ‘University Admissions Finland’ as the ‘Institution’ and click ‘Search’. Then select the university you want to send your results to and confirm your order. After this, UAF should have access to your test results within 48 hours. Be advised that online language test results will only be accepted from the test organiser.

For CAE and CPE, please address the test results to University Admissions Finland. An applicant's copy of the test score is acceptable, as your results will be verified from the test organiser. Include your Candidate's ID (3 letters and 6 numbers) and secret code (4 numbers), if applicable (available for tests taken after 2005). If you do not have these codes, you can request them from the testing organisation. If the codes are unavailable, you should ask for the Statement of Results from Cambridge ESOL to be sent directly to University Admissions Finland. Test scores sent as email attachments will not be accepted. Please note that only tests taken after 2005 will be accepted.
