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 study how the structure of materials shapes their properties and performance, and how to design materials for specific uses, drawing on chemistry, physics and engineering for applications in renewable energy, medical devices, electronics and sustainable manufacturing. Teaching combines theory with projects, laboratory exercises and real engineering problems, in small multicultural groups using modern laboratory equipment and digital tools, and second-year students can join research groups through research training placements. Graduates work in high-tech manufacturing, energy solutions, research, product development and sustainability innovation, or continue directly to master's programmes at the same university.
What you need
- Maths AA (SL or HL) or AI HLminimum 2 · National technology threshold: maths or the science must reach grade 4.
- Physics or Chemistry (SL or HL)minimum 2 · National technology threshold: maths or the science must reach grade 4.
