Finnish matriculation examination

In every lukio which does not have exemption from administering the national matriculation examination (such as the International Baccalaureate), it is essential to prepare students thoroughly for success in this Finnish-medium examination. To this end, all compulsory lukio courses are offered as part of the Espoo International programme and each of these compulsory courses (a minimum of 47/51 courses; or 45/49 for final year students following the old curriculum) must be completed in order to be eligible to enter for the matriculation examination.

All students with basic linguistic competence in Finnish are urged to enter for the matriculation examination. Apart from being perceived as an important rite of passage in this country, leading to possession of the cherished ”white cap”, it may also be easier to gain admission to certain Finnish universities with this certificate than with the AICE Diploma.

See your Finnish language Opinto Opas for guidance on the matriculation exam. The Opinto-Ohjaaja or the Principal will be glad to give advice.
