Deadlines

  1. 21 January 2027

    Joint application closes, 15:00 Finnish time
    Hard deadline
    Details

    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.

    International UAS Exam — pre-identification window

    Details

    Published as "from 10 March 2027 at 8:00 Finnish time (UTC/GMT+2) to 12 March 2027 at 15:00 Finnish time (UTC/GMT+2)". You identify yourself in advance in the Candour ID app, using the same passport or biometric EU/EEA ID card whose number you gave on your Studyinfo application — a different document may get your pre-identification rejected. Miss this window and you cannot sit the exam, whatever else you have done.

What it is

The programme trains you to lead construction work as a site manager, with basic studies in mathematics, sciences and languages, vocational studies in construction and a specialisation in house construction. You learn to plan and run a construction site and to supervise construction professionals. Classes are by day and taught in English and Finnish, with an innovation project commissioned by a company in the field, a work placement and a thesis. The degree meets the legal competence requirements for site management in Finland. Graduates work as site managers or in expert roles in construction services, customer service and property management.
