    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 business communication, marketing, leadership, data analytics, financial management, sales development and sustainability, and choose a track in either Corporate Financial Management or Digital Marketing. Teaching follows the Learning by Developing approach: authentic projects with companies, up to two work placements, and a final development project usually done with a partner company. Industry certifications from Microsoft, Google and SAS are built into the coursework, and double-degree options exist with partners in Austria and Belgium. Graduates become digital marketing specialists, financial planners, business developers, project managers or entrepreneurs.

What you need

  • International UAS Exam, as listed on Studyinfo; 2027 criteria not yet published. Leppävaara campus.
