Arcada University of Applied Sciences: OMPT requirements by programme
Arcada gives each of its three separate-application bachelors its own variant, all at 50%, the lowest published bar on this list. Three attempts before applying.
Arcada University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki publishes the lowest OMPT bar in this entire table: 50%, across all three of its separate-application bachelors. Each programme has its own variant — OMPT-A for International Business, OMPT-B for Information Technology, and OMPT-G for Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering — and you get up to three attempts before you apply.
Half marks sounds trivially easy. It is not quite, and the reason is the variant assignment. The IT programme's OMPT-B includes trigonometry and integration; the engineering programme's OMPT-G adds physics mechanics and chemistry on top of its maths chapters. A student whose school track skipped those subjects can stumble at 50% on content they have simply never met, while finding the algebra-only A comfortable. Match your preparation to your programme's letter, not to the reassuring number.
Three attempts before applying is the most generous retake policy here, and it removes most of the booking anxiety other universities create. Even so, each sitting costs real money — sit a free practice mock first, fix what it exposes, and aim to need only one paid attempt.

Arcada University of Applied Sciences OMPT questions, answered
Which OMPT does Arcada require?
OMPT-A for International Business, OMPT-B for Information Technology, and OMPT-G for Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering — each at 50%, with up to three attempts before applying.
Is Arcada's 50% requirement easy to pass?
On the A, usually. On the B and G, less so if your school skipped trigonometry, integration, or the G's physics and chemistry chapters — 50% still requires meeting half the syllabus competently. Prepare for your programme's specific variant.
