Tutkinnoille

Tutkinnoille is a Finnish noun form meaning “to the degrees” or “for degree programs.” It is the allative plural form of tutkinto, which refers to a formal qualification or degree earned after completing an educational program. In practice, tutkinnoille appears in discussions about admissions, program targets, or funding directed toward multiple degree programs rather than toward a single credential.

Morphology and meaning: The base noun tutkinto denotes a degree or qualification. Its nominative plural is tutkinnot. To express direction toward or targeting of degree programs, the allative plural suffix -ille is added, producing tutkinnoille. The allative case generally marks destination or recipient of an action, roughly corresponding to “to” or “toward” in English. In educational and policy texts, tutkinnoille signals that information, opportunities, or resources concern several degree programs rather than a single program.

Usage and context: In Finnish academic and administrative language, tutkinnoille frequently appears in descriptions of admissions pathways, student guidance, or policy discussions that reference multiple degree programs. It helps to package information about several programs collectively rather than individually. The word is typically part of a larger noun phrase or sentence structure, with the exact form shaped by the governing verbs and case alignment of the surrounding text.
