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 build a broad understanding of business in a global and digital setting, then choose a major in Accounting and Finance, People Management, Marketing and Sales, or Supply Chain Management, with language studies throughout. Teaching works closely with companies and uses student-centred methods; you can study full-time by day or in a blended format with evening classes. Exchange studies abroad are encouraged and a thesis is written in your major field. The degree is based in Pasila, Helsinki, and holds EFMD programme accreditation. Study paths are flexible, with professional courses that can be drawn from different majors.
What you need
- Full-time: IB grades. Blended variant: motivation letter by 28 Jan 2027, 15:00, then an interview at Pasila (8–11 or 15–18 March 2027); work experience also scores.

Every IB applicant at Haaga-Helia
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.
How places are decided
- Full-time, January: ranked on IB grades, UAS table, 45 places. Rolling: 28+ IB points, CAS, English, online interview; first complete, first in (20 European places).
The last cut-off
Last admitted in 2026: 95/198 points (full-time, certificates).
A past result, not a prediction.
