THE APPLICATION PROCESS BEGINS ONLINE
The application period is annually in January - February.
The application period 2012 has been closed 14 February at 16:15.
Student selections will be published 2 May.
LUT uses the University Admissions Finland (UAF) service for pre-processing of applications for Master's degree programmes in English.
Start the application process by creating a user account at https://admissions.it.helsinki.fi/uaf/pages/lut.jsp. Be sure to store your account login information and continue your application process. The information you give on the template will be compiled into a pdf-document, which will become your Application Form as you print it out.
The online template is divided into seven parts:
- Personal details (note that the address you give here will be used as your mailing address)
- Educational background
- Language skills
- Subjects to apply for
- Additional information
- Preview application
- Complete application
The template is available from 2 January 2012 (not earlier).
The template is available in English or in Finnish. Please note that you need to have a personal e-mail address to be able to use the application system. You can make changes to your online template only when it is a draft. At the 'Preview' page of the template you can still change the information. If you click the ‘Save information database’ button your application will be submitted and therefore no more changes can be made.
To complete your application you should:
1. Print out the the Application form (pdf). You can also send it as a pdf-document to your personal e-mail and print it out from there. After printing, you must sign the print-out to make it an official application
2. Collect all the required enclosures which are listed at the first page of the Application Form.
3. Send the signed print-out to the University Admissions Finland mailing address with the enclosures. Mark down your Application Form number into every document, and also into the lower left corner of the envelope.
Please make sure that your application and the enclosures reach the University Admissions Finland by the application deadline. Applications arrived after the deadline will not be processed.
When you have submitted your printed and signed Application Form and the requested enclosures, your application process is finalized and the information gathered from your educational documents will be added into the University Admissions database.
University Admissions Finland evaluates eligibility and authenticity of your educational certificates. This includes e.g. contacting your previous educational institution and the language test organiser. Any malpractice will be reported to the universities and proper authorities. Pre-processing includes sending out notices of receiving the applications and requests to send missing documents, as well as verifying the accuracy and authenticity of the applications.
The final student selection is carried out at Lappeenranta University of Technology in the respective faculties.
An applicant not satisfied with the results of the student selection may appeal in writing. The appeal must include cogent and concrete evidence on a mistake made in the processing of the application. The appeal must be addressed to the rector of LUT. Such an appeal must be submitted within 14 days from the time the applicant had the possibility of receiving information on the student selection.
Please note that applications that have not been attached with the requested documents are automatically rejected and do not justify an appeal. More information on the appeals procedure is available at the LUT Admission Services.
