The entrance examination is conducted as an online examination. Invitation letters for the examination will be sent approximately in the end of April.
At JAMK, students will be selected on the basis of the points awarded for the entrance examination. The admission score (max. 100 pts.) does not include any points from school performance. All the applicants who have applied for Degree Programme in Music Pedagogue at studyinfo.fi, have demonstrated their eligibility and have passed the pre-assignment will be invited to the entrance examination.
The online entrance examination consists of two parts:
- Applicant will record a video according to entrance examination instructions which has to be returned by 12 May 2021 by 3 p.m. at the latest.
- A one-day long real-time part of the examination will be held as a Zoom meeting in the week 21 (24 – 28 May 2021). The applicant will participate in:
- interview which evaluates suitability
- real-time instrument test
- theory test
- ear training test
If you fail to reach the minimum point level in any of the examination parts, you will be disqualified from the entrance examination. An applicant must score at least 50 out of 100 points in the entrance examination. JAMK's Degree programme in Music Pedagogue does not accept other universities of applied sciences’ exam results.
Furthermore, the selection is also influenced by the division of students into specializations or instrument groups. This means that the number of applicants can have an influence to the fact that a less popular instrument can be placed over a more popular instrument with a lower admission points, if it has less applicants. An applicant cannot gain admission to the same degree programme at JAMK, in which one already has a study right during the application period.
