Arcada University of Applied Sciences OMPT Requirements: All Three Programs

Arcada University of Applied Sciences in Finland publishes some of the most clearly documented, program-specific OMPT requirements we found anywhere in this research series, with a dedicated admissions page for each of its three OMPT-eligible bachelor's programs.

International Business — OMPT-A, minimum 50%, 3 attempts

Information Technology — OMPT-B, minimum 50%, 3 attempts

Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering — OMPT-G, minimum 50%, 3 attempts

A consistent structure across all three programs

Every one of Arcada's three programs shares the same minimum score (50%) and the same attempt allowance (three), even though each requires a different variant matched to the program's quantitative demands — general business math for International Business, a step up for Information Technology, and the most advanced variant, G, for Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering.

A detail worth knowing: the tuition deduction

Arcada's admissions pages note that admitted students who were admitted through the OMPT route receive a €240 tuition deduction — a small but concrete financial detail that's easy to miss if you're only focused on the score threshold itself.

Verification requirement

Arcada's pages state that scores must be verifiable in the OMPT database by a stated deadline — a reminder that submitting a passing score isn't automatically enough; make sure your result is properly registered and retrievable through the official OMPT system ahead of Arcada's cutoff.

Why the 50% bar and three attempts make Arcada relatively approachable

Compared to several other institutions in this series with 70-75% thresholds and two-attempt limits, Arcada's combination of a 50% bar and three attempts is one of the more forgiving structures we found — useful context if you're weighing Arcada against other options on this list.
