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.

It is here as a date to check rather than a date to act on: if nothing has arrived by the end of this day, the day before the exam, chase it.

What it is

The programme prepares international engineers for the energy and environmental industries, with a practical focus on waste and water treatment and on investigating and monitoring contaminated soil, water and air. Study topics include ecosystems, soil and groundwater, water and sanitation, ecotoxicology and waste management, so that industrial and public production processes can be run sustainably. You learn to carry out sampling and analysis in the field and in the laboratory, in an international community, and degrees of this kind usually include a practical training period and a final thesis. Graduates usually work with process, water, waste and environmental monitoring tasks in industry, utilities and consultancies.

What you need

  • Rolling admission on IB grades (English 5, HL Maths 5) plus interview; in January, the UAS Exam or SAT.
Requirements in full

Every IB applicant at Tampere University of Applied Sciences

In the January joint application TAMK selects by the International UAS Exam, SAT, or a pre-task and interview, not on IB grades. Its engineering rolling admission takes IB with English 5 and HL Maths 5.
