21 January 2027
Joint application closes, 15:00 Finnish timeHard deadlineDetails
The national window, on Studyinfo.fi, closing at 15:00 Finnish time on 21 January. Six months before IB results, so you apply on predicted grades. Aalto, the University of Helsinki and LUT are not in it: each runs its own application (Aalto closes on 22 January, Helsinki's IB group on 23 March, LUT's rolling admission on 30 April). Åbo Akademi's bachelor's programmes are in the second joint application, in March.
One form, maximum six programme choices. Opens 7 January 2027 at 08:00 and closes 21 January 2027 at 15:00 Finnish time (UTC+2). Studyinfo's own record of the joint application ("Joint Application to Higher Education, Spring 2027", run by the Finnish National Agency for Education) gives exactly that, and Tampere, Metropolia, Jamk, Xamk, Study in Finland, Jyväskylä, Turku, Oulu and Arcada agree. Aalto is not part of it: its English-taught bachelor's programmes have their own application on Studyinfo, open 7 January 08:00 to 22 January 2027 15:00. Both dates are right; they are two different applications.

What it is
You study experience design theories and modern design processes, gamification and imagineering, within a major in Experience Management, and add an optional minor in hospitality, tourism, experience design or business. Learning is built on hands-on projects and real cases with companies, a work placement, language studies and a bachelor's thesis. Exchange is available with partner universities in countries including Spain, Portugal, Japan and South Korea, and placements abroad are possible. The school belongs to the THE-ICE tourism and hospitality education network. Graduates work as experience specialists, event managers, food and beverage managers, hotel managers and in people and culture roles.
What you need
- In the January joint application most places go on certificates, so your IB grades decide. Sports Coaching and blended International Business use entrance exams instead. You must also prove English.
