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 human biology and health (anatomy, physiology, pathology, microbiology, nutrition and pharmacology), global and planetary health (environmental health, public health, climate and health) and health promotion and disease prevention, linking the molecular, individual and population levels. Teaching uses lectures, seminars and laboratory work, with a bachelor's thesis, optional practical training and project work, and Finnish language studies throughout. Four university departments run the programme on the Kuopio campus. Graduates work in public health, health promotion and planetary health in NGOs, policy bodies and research, or continue to master's studies in toxicology or public health.
What you need
- 10 of 30 places on certificates such as the IB, 5 of them for spring-2027 graduates; 20 by SAT; no waiting list.
