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 choose one of two majors with shared foundations: East Slavic Languages and Cultures, leading to a Bachelor of Arts, or Orthodox Theology, leading to a Bachelor of Theology. The studies cover Russian and Ukrainian language, East Slavic cultural studies, Orthodox theology and the part religion plays in society, taking an interdisciplinary approach that joins humanities and theology and builds practical language skills and intercultural competence through work with original sources. Pathways suit both native speakers and learners of the languages. Graduates are prepared for work in education, public administration, international organisations, journalism and civil society.
What you need
- Selection differs by programme: some keep a small certificate-based group for IB holders, others use an entrance exam course, interview or SAT. An IB in English, English A, or English B at 5 proves English.

How places are decided
- A recorded online video interview (five questions, 25 points) decides; the top 10 are admitted and there is no waiting list. IB grades do not count.
