If an applicant has not studied advanced mathematics or does not meet the GPA requirement; applicant can apply using OMPT test.

Accepted tests & required grade

OMPT-B (not applicable for Computational Science and Artificial Intelligence programme)
OMPT-D (for all programmes)

You must achieve at least a grade of 60% in the test to be eligible for admission.

All test results accepted by LUT University are valid for one year from the date of taking the test.

How do I know if I need to take a test?

If your mathematics curriculum was deemed insufficient, your grades did not meet the requirements or if you did not study mathematics during your upper secondary degree; you need to do the test.

Registration

For exam registration, please visit the OMPT website, select 'LUT University' as the institution, and then choose the programme of your choice. Keep in mind that you are required to schedule the test at least 3 days in advance and it can take up to 5 working days before you receive the exam results, so plan accordingly because you need to have the results by the time you apply.

Applicants with a relevant degree on the upper secondary level of education are all able to apply to Bachelor's Programmes in English with a SAT test (Suite of Assesments Test).

When applying with a SAT test, there is no additional requirement for proving your proficiency in English or your advanced mathematics skills in any other way.

LUT University's institutional code for SAT Test is 7603

Requirements for the Completed Degree

A qualification on the upper secondary level of education providing you with eligibility to equivalent University-level Bachelor's studies in the country where the degree was completed in

Minimum requirements for the SAT test results

Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, 600
Math, 700 (750 for Computational Science and Artificial Intelligence)
Only the tests taken after 1 January 2024 are accepted.

Verifying your SAT results

LUT University only accepts your SAT test scores if an official score report is received directly from the test organizer College Board. When proving your English-language skills via SAT scores, you will need to submit the results via College Board.
