Nursing Top-Up Degree
Turn an existing nursing qualification into a Finnish bachelor's degree, with Metropolia in the Helsinki region.
What the programme is
This is a top-up, not a first nursing degree. It takes a qualification you already hold and builds it into a Finnish bachelor's, which is the qualification the Finnish system recognises.
Metropolia sits in the Helsinki metropolitan area, which matters more than any brochure line: it is where part-time work, clinical placements and staying on after graduation are easiest.
Two groups are recruited separately. Degree holders come in with a BSc Nursing. Diploma holders come in with an ANM or GNM taken after 12th. The entry route differs; the degree at the end is the same.
Before you commit
Placements are with Finnish-speaking patients. Finnish language study is part of the degree and it is not decoration — students who arrive expecting to finish without functional Finnish struggle in placement. We would rather tell you now than after you have paid.
How it runs

Prepare the file
Certificates, transcripts, passport, language or interview evidence. We tell you what's missing before it costs you an application fee.
3
Apply
Submitted through the university's own admissions route, inside its application window. You see everything before it goes.
4
Interview or test
Whichever this programme uses. We prepare you for it — that preparation is part of the service, not an extra.

Offer and permit
If the offer comes, we assemble the residence permit file with you: funds, Swiss Care insurance, documents. Migri decides.
Questions
About this programme
If you hold a BSc Nursing degree, Group 1. If you hold an ANM or GNM diploma taken after 12th, Group 2. If you are unsure which your qualification counts as, send us the certificate and we will tell you.
It is estimated. Metropolia confirms the start date once the cohort is formed, and the tuition figure with it. We will not pretend a date is fixed when the university has not fixed it.
The degree is the qualification route. Registration is decided by Valvira, the national supervisory authority, on its own criteria. We can explain the process; we cannot promise the outcome.
