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 technological and civil engineering solutions for sustainable built environments, in a programme that shares its Urban Lab course and its three specialisations (Technology, Administrative Sciences and Social Sciences) with students from other fields. In the challenge-based Urban Lab you work in interdisciplinary teams with local planners and citizens on real urban development projects with the City of Tampere and other organisations, and the degree ends with a thesis. Graduates have found work in city organisations, academia and engineering and technology companies, and continue to the master's programme in civil engineering with an urban systems focus.
What you need
- Maths AA (SL or HL) or AI HLminimum 2 · National technology threshold: maths or the science must reach grade 4.
