["Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) test can be taken at the beginning of studies as an alternative way of performance. This does not apply to maturity exam."]
["Criteria for exemption: Exemption means that the student is for a particular reason partly or entirely exempt from completing compulsory language studies stipulated in Act 1129/2014 § 7. Particular reasons include for example the following a) the student has not studied the language before b) the language is the student’s native language or c) other reason, e.g. diagnosed severe dyslexia. In practice this means that the student does not need to complete the compulsory language studies in a foreign language and/or in one national language included in the curriculum. However, exemption does not decrease the number of credits required for the degree. Therefore, instead of language studies the student has to complete other studies with the same number of credits as the compulsory language studies. If possible, these studies should support language studies. However, if the student has clearly problems in learning languages, he or she can complete other studies which support degree studies. Exemption is marked in the degree certificate. The language of education is the language in which the student completed the native language syllabus at comprehensive school  ( vocational  education path) or  upper secondary school (upper secondary school path). N.B. * A student who has not had Finnish or Swedish as the language of education but who writes  the maturity exam in Finnish or Swedish in an approved manner, thus shows with the maturity exam good written and oral skills (A481/2003,§16). This is a sufficient proof of language skills when e.g. applying for Finnish citizenship.    A student who has received a) in  matriculation exam mother tongue exam(Finnish/Swedish) at least grade magna cum laude approbatur or b)  in matriculation exam Finnish or Swedish as a second language exam  at least grade cum laude approbatur or c) who has already taken maturity exam in his/her language of education in a previous higher education degree  does not need to prove excellent oral or written language skills stipulated in Act A481/2003. See Government Decree on the demonstration of language proficiency in Finnish and Swedish in public administration 481/2003.
