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 combine hospitality management, service design, and leadership and business, then add a focus in Innovating Food Services, Tourism Service Development or Event Service Production. Service design methods are taught through classroom studies and working-life projects, with team projects on real business challenges and shifts in BarLaurea, the teaching restaurant, where you work both as staff and as process planner. A work placement and a thesis showing workplace expertise complete the degree, and study visits abroad add an international angle. Graduates work as project managers, event producers, restaurant managers and service design planners, or continue to a master's in service innovation and design.
What you need
- International UAS Exam, as listed on Studyinfo; full 2027 criteria not yet published. Leppävaara campus.
