Regular Admission for Master's studies

The first and one of the most important steps in the application process is to check the admission criteria for the programme(s) to which you are applying and ensure that you meet the requirements.

You will find the admission criteria for each programme under the following sections:

• Applying to Business Administration
• Applying to Communication Sciences
• Applying to Social Sciences
• Applying to Technology

The Admission Committees for the programmes do not provide preliminary statements on whether previous studies or arithmetic GPA meet the minimum requirements.

These academic requirements form part of the admissions criteria and will only be checked and evaluated during the academic evaluation process, which begins once the application period has ended.

LUT Admissions Services allows the Admissions Committees to complete the evaluation process for each application without being bothered by requests for updates or requests to speed up the process.

Therefore, we do not provide applicants with updates on the evaluation process. All applicants will be informed of their admission decision on the date the results are released.

One of the requirements for being eligible to apply is proving your English proficiency in one of the accepted ways.

• How to prove your English proficiency

What is an unfinished Bachelor's Degree?

• You have not yet graduated and have not been awarded a Degree Certificate 
  or a Provisional Degree Certificate.

Having completed your studies does not mean that you have graduated unless you have been awarded the Degree Certificate or the Provisional Degree Certificate.

If you are unable to upload the Degree Certificate or the Provisional Degree Certificate by the supplementary deadline, you must indicate on the application form that you have not yet graduated in response to the relevant question.

A Provisional Degree Certificate is a predetermined form of an official document awarded by the university that looks formally similar to the final Degree Certificate, but is provisional because the final document has not yet been awarded at the official graduation ceremony.

A Provisional Degree Certificate is not a statement provided by a university staff member confirming that you have completed your studies - such a document will not be accepted as a Provisional Degree Certificate.
 

When applying

• Indicate your estimated graduation date on the application form.
  • No official statement of this date is required from your home university.
• Upload your latest Transcript of Records to the application form
  • along with the official translation if required
• The Transcript of Records must include the degree title.
  • If this is not indicated, an additional statement from the awarding university detailing the degree title must be uploaded to the application form.
     

If admitted

You must be able to

• Graduate by 31 August 2026
• Scan and email the following documents to admission@lut.fi by 31 August 2026 at 15:00 (UTC+3)
  • Your original Degree Certificate or Provisional Degree Certificate
  • Your original Transcript of Records
• Email the following documents to admission@lut.fi by 7 September 2026 at 15:00 (UTC+3)
  • Scans of the official translations in English if the original documents are not issued in English, Finnish or Swedish. 
     

Terms and conditions

The documents must be provided according to the given instructions, regardless of the country in which the degree was awarded.

If you miss the graduation deadline and/or fail to provide the required documentation, you will automatically lose your place and will not be able to reclaim it.

If you were admitted through Early Admission and have confirmed the offered place

• You will be ineligible to apply through the Regular Admission, as you will not be able to confirm another place for the upcoming academic year. 
  Further information: StudyInfo - One Study Place Per Term Provision
• If you submit an application through Regular Admission after confirming a place through Early Admission, your Regular Admission application will be discarded.

If you were not admitted through Early Admission or have not confirmed an offered place  

You may apply through Regular Admission again. 

Whether or not to apply through an education agent is entirely your decision.

All applications are evaluated according to the same general requirements and programme-specific admission criteria, regardless of whether you apply independently or through an agent.

• Regular Admission for Business Administration
• Regular Admission for Social Sciences and Communication Sciences
• Regular Admission for Technology 

Links for the application forms are available only during the application period. 

The application process is completed via the national application platform called Studyinfo. You can also find our application forms on Studyinfo by searching for the programme you wish to apply for.

Applying to a limited number of programmes

• Master's programmes in Business Administration  
  You may submit one application form for a maximum of one programme.

The maximum number of applications is considered separately for programmes taught in English and programmes taught in Finnish.

Multiple application forms discarded

You can submit only one application form to each category under one email address:

• Business Administration
• Social Sciences and Communication Sciences
• Technology

If multiple application forms are submitted for the same applicant from a different email address within the same main field of study: 

• The earlier form(s) will automatically be discarded.
• Only the latest application form will be considered valid.

You are responsible for submitting a complete application, including all the documentation and information requested on the application form.
 

Complete the application form 

Fill out the application form 

Answer the questions exactly as requested. 

Failure to provide the requested information will result in it not being considered in the evaluation process.

Upload the required documents 

For each programme, upload the programme-specific documents listed on the Admission Criteria page.

We strongly advise you to upload all the documents before submitting your application, including those that are not compulsory but relevant to the evaluation process.

If you are unable to upload a required document when submitting your application, upload a placeholder document stating that you will upload the required document by the supplementary deadline.

Further information can be found in the 'Uploading the required documents' section.

Submit your application

The deadline for submitting your application form is

We strongly advise you not to leave submitting your application until the last minute. You may forget about issues that you could address earlier, and it might be too late to do so at that point.

Once you have submitted your application, you will receive an automated reply from StudyInfo confirming that it has been submitted.

Pay the application fee 

Answer the question about the application fee correctly on the application form, and upload the required documentation. Discrepancies between your answer and the uploaded documents will significantly delay processing of your application.

You will receive an email through Studyinfo including a link to pay the EUR 100 application fee once it is required. Pay the fee as soon as possible, but no later than the given deadline. 

Your application to LUT University will only be processed once the application fee has been paid.

Supplement missing documents

If you have not uploaded all the required documents or language test results when you submit your application, you can still supplement your application before the given deadline:

• 28 January 2026 at 15:00 (UTC+2) 
  Note: If we request additional documentation from you and there are fewer than seven days between our request and 28 January, you will receive a personalised deadline for uploading the required documents in the request email. This deadline will be seven days from the date we email you the request.

See the information provided in the 'Confirmation email or request to supplement your application' section.

Non-EU/EEA citizens are required to pay

• an application fee of EUR 100

in order to apply for higher education in Finland.

• Swiss citizens are excluded from this group.
• Whether or not you are liable for paying the application fee may also depend on the type of residence permit you have for residing in Finland.

Paying the application fee does not guarantee admission, and the fee is non-refundable if the applicant withdraws or is not offered a place by the university.

The processing of the application will not begin until the applicant has paid the fee.

Further information: Studyinfo - Application Fee

Once the application form has been submitted and all the necessary information and documentation provided, Studyinfo will automatically send an email to applicants who are required to pay the application fee. This email includes a link to pay the fee.

The application fee must be paid within seven days. The deadline is specified in the email.

Pay the application fee as soon as possible, but no later than the given deadline.

LUT University will only process your application once the application fee has been paid.

Any discrepancy between the option selected for paying the application fee and the uploaded documentation will result in additional processing time, delaying your application.

Further information: Studyinfo - Application Fee

Original study units on Transcript of Records

The Transcript of Records for the Bachelor's Degree you are applying with must include 

• original study units for each completed course
• cumulative number of original study units for all the completed courses

What to do when original study units are missing on the Transcript of Records?

If the required original study units are missing from the documentation, the application will be considered incomplete.

Original cumulative study units to be indicated on the application form

You are requested to indicate the cumulative number of original study units completed for the Bachelor's Degree you are applying with. 

If you are applying with an unfinished Bachelor's Degree, you must indicate the cumulative number of original study units you expect to complete in order to graduate. 

If you have completed a combination of degrees that together correspond to a Bachelor's degree, you must indicate the cumulative number of original study units for all the related degrees.

Most programmes require programme-related studies.

Depending on the programme, there are three different options for how they are presented on the application form:

• the applicants do not have to list their studies
• the applicants list their studies in the original study units
• the applicants list their studies in ECTS credits

The correct option is specified in the programme's admission criteria and on the application form.
 

Studies listed in the original study units

When asked to list the studies in their original study units, you should always list all the relevant courses in the related fields of study mentioned for the programme to which you are applying, regardless of whether the minimum requirement is defined as 'sufficient for the programme' or 'XX ECTS credits'.

Although you must list the required studies in their original study units on the application form, you may still wish to check how many ECTS credits they are worth. Further information on how to convert the original study units can be found at How to convert the original study units?
 

Studies listed in ECTS credits

This only applies to programmes in the Social Sciences and Communication Sciences. 

Studies must be listed in ECTS credits, and must be converted into ECTS credits if they were originally measured in a different unit of study.

Conversion must be carried out using the LUT conversion factor(s), as indicated on the related programme's admission criteria page.

It is your responsibility to upload the documents requested on your application form.

These documents are programme-specific and are listed on the 'Admission criteria' page for each programme.

Compulsory documents

Even though the deadline for a compulsory document is shown on the application form, the application form cannot be submitted without uploading it. 

We strongly advise you to upload all the documents before submitting your application. If you do not yet have a required document at the time of submission, upload a placeholder document containing the text 'Document yet to be uploaded'. Make sure you replace it with the correct document by the given deadline.

Please note that some documents are not compulsory, but are still relevant for the academic evaluation.

Final deadline for uploading the documentation

Any missing documentation must be uploaded by the supplementary deadline of

• 28 January 2026 at 15:00 (UTC+2)
• Note: If we request additional documentation from you and there are fewer than seven days between our request and 28 January, you will receive a personalised deadline for uploading the required documents in the request email. This deadline will be seven days from the date we email you the request.
   

Details for uploading documents

You must upload

• scans of the original educational documents
• scans of the other required documents relevant for evaluation
   

Only upload one attachment for each required document

Combine all the pages of each document in the correct order to create a single attachment that corresponds to the original.

Ensure the attachment is clearly readable.

If you have several sets of pages and/or documents related to a required document, combine them in the correct order to create one complete attachment.

Name the required documents correctly

Name your documents accordingly. For example:

Degree Certificate - Bachelor
Transcript of Records - Bachelor
Letter of Motivation

Accepted file formats

Upload the required documents in one of the following formats: PDF, JPG or PNG.

Language for non-educational required documents

When uploading non-educational required documents relevant for the evaluation such as work certificates, that are not originally provided in English, Finnish or Swedish, you must have them translated in English and upload the translations alongside the originals, combined into one attachment.

Documents in any other language apart from English, Finnish or Swedish will not be evaluated.

If you do not have a compulsory document when submitting your application

If you are unable to upload a compulsory document when submitting your application, but are able to do so by the deadline for submitting missing documents, upload a blank document stating that the required document has not yet been uploaded.

This allows you to submit your application without the compulsory document, which you can then upload by the supplementary deadline.

To avoid any last-minute problems, we strongly advise you to submit your application well before the deadline and upload any missing documents well before the supplementary deadline.
 

Do not upload any extra documents

Do not upload any documents that are not required, as these are irrelevant, slow down the evaluation process, and are not appreciated or considered by the Admission Committees.

Do not send LUT University any documents when applying.

Once you have submitted the application form and paid the application fee, if applicable, LUT Admissions Services will begin processing your application.

LUT Admissions Services will check that the documents have been uploaded correctly and assess your English proficiency. 
 

A technically complete application

If you have correctly filled out the form and uploaded the requested documents, and if your application is technically complete, we will email you a confirmation via Studyinfo and forward your application for academic evaluation.

If the university that awarded your Bachelor's Degree is located in one of the listed countries, you must follow the country-specific requirements for document authentication:

• African countries
• Bangladesh
• China
• India
• Indonesia
• Iran
• Malaysia
• Nepal
• Pakistan
• Sri Lanka
• Vietnam 

If there is no option for electronic verification and you are not already living in Finland and able to use the DVV verification, your only option is to follow the country-specific requirements for document authentication.

If your original educational documents are not issued in English, Finnish or Swedish, you will also need to provide official English translations.

Countries without country-specific requirements for document authentication 

If the university that awarded your Bachelor's Degree is not located in one of the listed countries for country-specific requirements, you must officially certify the required documents using one of the following methods (1–2). 

This method is your only option if there is no option for an electronic verification and if you are not already living in Finland and able to use the DVV verification.

If your original educational documents are not issued in English, Finnish or Swedish, you will also need to provide official English translations.

Finland is excluded from this group, as degrees completed in Finland can be verified in a national database. 

1. Official certification by the awarding institution

The easiest way to obtain certified copies of your original documents is to contact the university that awarded them and request the copies according to the given specifics.

• Copies are taken from the original documents
• Copies include each page of the original documents
• Copies bear an original stamp of the awarding institution
  on each page of the document
  • a generic stamp "Certified true copy" is not accepted
• Copies bear an original signature of the certifying officer

Photocopies without an official certification will not be accepted.

2. Official certification by legalisation

If you are unable to have your educational documents officially certified by the institution that awarded them, you can have them certified through a process called legalisation. 

There are two methods of legalisation, depending on whether or not the country in which the degree was awarded is a signatory to the 1961 Hague Convention.

A. Apostille

An apostille certificate is required if the degree was awarded in a country that is a signatory to the Hague Convention of 1961.

• Signatory countries and the authorities issuing apostille certificates

An apostille certificate can be issued by stamping the document with a specific apostille stamp or on a separate apostille certificate.

B. Legalisation

Legalisation is required if the degree was awarded in a country that is not a signatory of the 1961 Hague Convention.

• The first legalisation of the document must be carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country that awarded the degree.
• The second legalisation must be carried out by a Finnish embassy or consulate in the country that completed the first legalisation.

Official translations

If the original educational documents are not issued in English, Finnish or Swedish, official English translations are required in addition to the original documents.
 

What is an official translation?

• It is issued by the awarding institution.
• It is an officially certified copy of a translation issued by the awarding institution.
• It is translated by an official translator
• It is an officially certified copy of a translation made by an official translator.

Each translation must bear the translator's stamp and/or signature.

The official Diploma Supplement in English will also be considered a translation of the Degree Certificate.

If you have applied with an incomplete Bachelor's Degree and have been conditionally admitted, you must graduate by

• 31 August 2026  

You must also email scans of your original Degree Certificate and the final Transcript of Records to LUT Admissions Services at admission@lut.fi by the following deadline

• 31 August 2026 at 15:00 (UTC+3) 

cans of the official translations of these documents (when required) must be emailed to LUT Admissions Services at admission@lut.f by

• 7 September 2026 at 15:00 (UTC+3) 

Further information can be found on this page under 'Basics before applying > Applying with an unfinished Bachelor's degree'.

These deadlines apply to all conditionally admitted students, regardless of the country in which the degree was awarded.

Failure to meet the final deadline will result in the loss of your place, which cannot be reinstated.

A place offered may still be revoked if the admitted student provided LUT University with inaccurate or misleading information about their educational background when they applied, which impacted the academic evaluation and admission decision.

Information about the revocation will also be forwarded to the relevant Finnish authorities.

Even after you have been admitted and started your studies, supplementary studies may still be assigned when you make your personal study plan, if necessary.

The scope of any supplementary studies depends on your previous studies and educational background in relation to the programme's requirements for graduation.

The maximum scope of any supplementary studies is 60 ECTS credits, which are not included in the 120 ECTS credits required for the Master's degree.
