Further information and instructions for taking the exam will be sent to registered applicants in May.
You should register for the entrance examination by the 15th of May 2023 through the Summer University exam calendar.

The entrance examination is based on materials delivered in the beginning of the exam. The materials may include short scientific texts, fiction, newspaper or magazine articles, or visual materials. The materials may pertain to language studies, language learning, and the cultures and literature of the Anglophone world.

The aim of the entrance examination is to test the applicant’s ability to grasp the content presented in the materials and accordingly apply it in the writing tasks.

The assessment of the written tasks will focus on the following issues:
• content – the relevance and accuracy of the answers and presentation of analytic skills
• language – the grasp of vocabulary and grammatical precision, the ability to write clearly, fluently and flawlessly
• structure and organization – the logical presentation and overall coherence of the argumentation.

The entrance examination is in English, and it consists of two parts:
-  the first part includes at least one writing task (approx. 300-500 words)
-  the second part includes short tasks that assess the applicant’s analytical skills. These can include tasks that are related to linguistic structures, concepts and applications of those.

The maximum number of points in the written examination is 40. To be considered for admission, the applicant must score at least 50 % of the available points in both parts. If the applicant scores less than 50% of the available points in the first part, the second part will not be evaluated even if it contains answers.

Huomioitavaa

Tiedoksi niille, jotka hakevat englannin kielen pää- tai sivuaineopiskelijaksi Oulun yliopiston humanistiseen tiedekuntaan:

Tiedekunnan valintakoe on sama kuin kesäyliopiston pääsykoe. Tiedekuntaan hakijat, jotka saavat valintakokeesta riittävän määrän pisteitä, mutta eivät tule valituiksi pää- tai sivuaineopiskelijoiksi, voivat ilmoittautua opiskelijoiksi kesäyliopiston englannin kielen 25 op perusopintoihin niin kauan kuin opiskelijapaikkoja riittää. Opiskelijat otetaan kesäyliopiston opintoihin ilmoittautumisjärjestyksessä. Kesäyliopiston pääsykokeeseen osallistuneet valitaan ensin paremmuusjärjestyksessä.

Englannin kieli on myös Oulun yliopiston väyläaine:
