Order a Transcript of Studies

By selecting a degree programme you are able to see the general content as well as the possible degree programme-specific content. You do not have to select a degree programme to see the Open University's instructions.

You need an electronically verified or printed transcript of studies if you are asked to provide official proof of the studies you have completed at the University of Helsinki. You may need to do so, for example, when applying to another higher education institution or in response to an official request. Please contact the recipient to confirm the transcript format required.
