Matriculation examination
Upper secondary school prepares students for the Finnish matriculation examination, which is similar to A-level tests. The examinations are held in each subject excluding arts, music and physical education. The only obligatory subject is Finnish. Students usually participate in four to seven examinations. These examinations give general university entry qualifications.
During the school year, there are three major holidays: summer vacation (ten weeks), Christmas break (two weeks) and winter break (one week). Autumn term usually starts in mid-August and spring term ends in early June.
