opintosuoritusotteina

Opintosuoritusotteina is the plural form of opintosuoritusote, an official record of a student’s study achievements in Finland’s higher education system. An opintosuoritusote is issued by a university or university of applied sciences and documents the student’s completed studies, including courses or modules, earned credits (opintopisteet, typically ECTS), and, where applicable, grades. It may also indicate the earned degree or qualification and dates of completion, and it identifies the student and issuing institution.

The document serves as authoritative proof of academic history for purposes such as admission to further studies, professional licensing, employment, or international study. It is usually issued in electronic form through the institution’s student services or registrar system, and can be provided as a paper copy if requested. Certifications or digital signatures may accompany the transcript to verify authenticity.

Contents and presentation can vary somewhat between institutions, but the opintosuoritusote is designed to give a concise overview of what the student has completed and what credits have been earned, with indications of any ongoing studies. In some contexts, separate opintosuoritusotteina may be requested from different institutions, for example when studying at more than one university or college.

Under Finnish higher education practice, opintosuoritusote is a standard instrument for documenting academic achievements and is used alongside degree certificates. It enables mobility within Finland and abroad by providing a transparent record of a student’s qualifications.
