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 cities and sustainability across the social sciences, natural sciences, technical sciences and humanities, and build your own profile with three minors chosen from over 20 themes such as Urban Ecology, Sustainable Business, Smart Cities, Urban Health and Wellbeing and Post-growth Cities. The first year is at the home university, and the second and third are spent at two or more partner universities in Europe within a joint degree run by ten universities, with a mix of on-site and online courses and work on real sustainability challenges with students, teachers and businesses. The degree ends with a bachelor's thesis.
What you need
- Has a certificate-based selection group for IB holders.
Requirements in full
Every IB applicant at University of Eastern Finland
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
- 20 places by online interview (15–21 Feb 2027); 10 on certificates (54+ points). Studyinfo gives spring-2027 graduates 2 or 5 of those 10; its texts disagree.
