Early Admission for Master's studies

What is Early Admission?

Early Admission offers an early application window before Regular Admission

for applicants having completed or about to complete their Bachelor's Degree outside of Finland

and hoping to continue their studies in our Master's Programmes.

When to apply?

Early October 2025

Exact dates for the next application period for Early Admission as well as the other missing dates will be released as soon as possible.

The admission criteria for Early Admission for the academic year 2026-2027 is already available on this page.

Basics about Early Admission

Applied Physics

Applied Physics

Business Administration

Chemical Engineering

Communication Sciences

Global Communications and Clean Air, Water and Energy

Electrical Engineering

Energy Technology

Environmental Technology

Sustainability Science and Solutions

Industrial Engineering and Management

Mechanical Engineering

Social Sciences

Software Engineering

The following two programmes

Responsible Information Systems Development
Software Engineering

will become two separate programmes from the current programme Software Engineering and Digital Transformation.

Links for these two programmes will be updated as soon as possible.

Whether or not to apply through an education agent is completely up to you.

Each application will be evaluated according to the same general requirements and programme-specific admission criteria, whether you apply on your own or through an agent.

In Early Admission you can only apply to one programme either in Business Administration, Communication Sciences, Social Sciences or in Technology.

This is because if successfully completing the following steps you will automatically get admitted as long as there are still seats available in the programme you are applying to:

submitting a complete application within the time frame given
paying the application fee when required
meeting with the admission criteria
successfully going through the evaluation process for the programme

Application fee

Paying the application fee as soon as possible when required makes a significant impact for the application process as LUT Admissions Services is able to start processing the submitted application only after the application fee is paid for.

Required documents

Submitting a complete application already when first submitting it speeds up the process for you. Please carefully read the instructions on the website and on the application form to see what is required from you.

Submit your application only, if you are able

to upload all the required documents and results at the time of submitting your application or,
to supplement your application with the missing documents and results within 7 days from receiving a supplementary request from us

If your application is not supplemented as requested by the given deadline, it will be ruled out as an ineligible application.

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, which are part of the admission criteria, will only be checked and evaluated during the academic evaluation process after the application period ends.

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.

If the application is not technically eligible, it will not be forwarded to academic evaluation, and the applicant will be informed immediately by email through Studyinfo.

All the applicants having applied through Early Admission with an application forwarded to academic evaluation will get their admission decision

Date yet to be released

The Admissions Committees for the programmes complete the evaluation process as soon as possible based on the principle of first in - first out.

Admitted through Early Admission and having confirmed the place

You are no longer eligible to apply through Regular Admission as you will not be able to confirm yet another place for the upcoming academic year again.

Further information: StudyInfo - One Study Place Per Term Provision

Submitting an application through Regular Admission while already having confirmed a place through Early Admission will lead into your application form for Regular Admission to be discarded.

Not admitted or not having confirmed an offered place through Early Admission

You may apply through Regular Admission.

It is not possible to get another right to study in a Master's programme that is included in the same study programme i.e. in the same main field of study for the programme that the student already has a right to study in at LUT University.

Should this be the case, the study right obtained later will be revoked.

The restriction also means that it is not possible to change the Master's programme to another one in the same field of study by applying again.

Example

Student already has a study right in the Master's programme in Electric Transportation Systems in the field of Electrical Engineering at LUT University so s/he is not able to get another study right in another Master's programme in the field of Electrical Engineering.

Application process

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:

Admission criteria for Business Administration
Admission criteria for Communication Sciences
Admission criteria for Social Sciences
Admission criteria for Technology

How many programmes can you apply to?

You may submit only one application form with max. one programme.

Multiple application forms discarded

In case of multiple application forms under a different email address/es for the same applicant the earlier one/s will automatically be discarded while only the latest one remaining a valid one.

Filling in the application form

Fill carefully in your application form by answering the questions exactly as requested.

If failing to present the information as requested on your application form, that information will not be considered in the evaluation process.

Uploading the required documents

Upload the required documents as requested.

Submitting your application

After having submitted your application you will receive an auto-reply from StudyInfo about having submitted the application.

Paying the application fee

When required to pay the application fee or EUR 100, you will receive a link through Studyinfo for paying it after having submitted your application if having correctly filled in the related question and uploaded the required documents.

Pay the application fee as soon as possible but by the deadline given.

Your application can only be processed at LUT University after having paid the application fee.

Any contradictory information between the chosen option and the uploaded documentation will lead into further processing and slows down your application process.

Supplement your application when necessary

See the information given under the section 'Confirmation email or request to supplement your application'.

Applicants who are not citizens of the EU, EEA or Switzerland are required to pay

an application fee of EUR 100

in order to apply to higher education studies in Finland.

Having a certain type of residence permit to live in Finland may affect liability for paying the application fee.

Paying the application fee does not guarantee admission, and the fee is not refunded if the applicant withdraws from the application process or is not offered admission.

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

Further information: Studyinfo - Application Fee

After submitting the application form and providing the necessary information and documentation, Studyinfo automatically sends an email to applicants who are required to pay the application fee. The email includes a link to pay the fee.

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

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

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

Any discrepancy between the selected option and the uploaded documentation will result in further processing, which will slow down your application.

Further information: Studyinfo - Application Fee

Studies listed in original study units

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

Studies listed in ECTS credits

- This only applies to programmes in Social Sciences and Communication Sciences -

The studies must be listed in ECTS credits and they must be first converted into ECTS credits when they originally having been measured in another study unit.

The conversion must be done according to the LUT conversion factor/s which are indicated on the admission criteria page for the programme for which the studies must be listed in ECTS credits.

Arithmetic GPA plays a role for evaluation for each and every programme and for certain programmes there is also a minimum requirement for it for being eligble to apply.

The arithmetic GPA will be checked and verified by LUT University.

In case the original grading scale not being on a scale of 1.00 - 5.00, the arithmetic GPA will be converted by LUT University on this scale during the evaluation process. Finally, the arithmetic GPA with two decimals will be evaluated.

The grading scale must include at least two different grades for passing that together form a clear range of passing grades so that an arithmetic GPA can be calculated.

If the completed courses having been evaluated by using verbal or letter-based grades, these grades will be converted on a numerical scale of 1.00-5.00 by using linear conversion.

What is included in the arithmetic GPA?

Grades for all the individual courses
Grade for Final Thesis

for the degree you must be applying with.

The courses and the Final Thesis must have been completed at the time of applying and they must be listed on an official Transcript of Records.

What is excluded from the arithmetic GPA?

What is an unfinished Bachelor's Degree?

You have not yet graduated
= You have not been awarded a Degree Certificate

If not being able to upload the Degree Certificate or the Provisional Degree Certificate by the supplementary deadline, you must identify on the application form as "not yet graduated" for the related 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 staff member of the university confirming that you have completed your studies - such a document will not be accepted as a Provisional Degree Certificate.

When applying

Studies not originally in ECTS credits >> Conversion needed

In case of the completed courses not originally listed in ECTS credits on your Transcript of Records, you are responsible for converting the original study units (credits, credit hours etc.) to ECTS credits according to the following conversions.

What elements are required for ECTS conversions?

To be able to make the necessary conversions for ECTS credits, the following elements must be included on your Transcript/s of Records:

Original study units for each course (credits, credit hours etc.)
Original cumulative study units for the degree (credits, credit hours etc.)

What to do if the required elements are missing?

What to do if there are no credits available for the completed courses?

You may also upload an official brochure for the programme issued by the university instead of the official statement if the missing elements are indicated in the brochure.

Converting to ECTS credits factors

Studies on Bachelor's level

Divide 180 (=cumulative ECTS credits for a LUT Bachelor’s Degree) by the cumulative number of original study units (credits, credit hours etc.) you have completed for the Bachelor’s Degree you are applying with
As a result you will get the conversion factor for Bachelor's studies
Multiply the original number of study units for the listed courses by this factor
As a result you will get the result in ECTS credits

Studies on Master's level

Multiply the original number of study units for the listed courses by 1.5
- 1.5 = a fixed factor for Master's studies
As a result you will get the result in ECTS credits

Do not round up the result for the converted ECTS credits: If the result is 2.25367 ECTS credits, you must list the course with exactly 2.25367 ECTS credits.

Examples: How to correctly convert and list the required studies in ECTS credits

Case examples

Bachelor's studies

Example:

The total study units completed for your Bachelor’s Degree are 160 credit hours and you need to convert a course with 2 credit hours to ECTS credits.

Divide 180 by 160 >> the conversion factor is 1.125
Multiply 2 credit hours by 1.125 = 2.25 ECTS credits

Master's studies

Example:

You have completed 60 credits of Master's level studies and you need to convert a course with 3 credits to ECTS credits.

Multiply 3 credits by 1.5 = 4.5 ECTS credits

Example:

You have completed 95 credits of Master's level studies and you need to convert a course with 2 credits to ECTS credits.

Multiply 2 credits by 1.5 = 3 ECTS credits

Bachelor's Degree is a combination of several degrees

Example: 2-year Bachelor's Degree + 2-year Master's Degree = Bachelor's Degree (16 years of education)

You have completed

a 2-year Bachelor's Degree (90 credits) and
a 2-year Master's Degree (80 credits)

that together are equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree (170 credits in total) and you need to convert a course with 3 credits to ECTS credits.

Since the combination of both the degrees is equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree, the conversion factor follows the factor for Bachelor's studies.

Divide 180 by 170 >> the conversion factor is 1.05882353
Multiply 3 credit hours by 1.05882353 = 3.17647059 ECTS credits

Example: National Degree + Higher National Degree + top up = Bachelor's Degree

You have completed

a 2-year National Degree (85 credit hours) and
a 1-year top up for a Higher Nationial Degree (50 credit hours) and
a 1-year top up for a Bachelor's Degree (30 credit hours)

that together are equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree (165 credit hours in total) and you need to convert a course with 2 credits to ECTS credits.

Since the combination of all these degrees is equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree, the conversion factor follows the factor for Bachelor's studies.

Divide 180 by 165 >> the conversion factor is 1.09090909
Multiply 2 credit hours by 1.09090909 = 2.18181818 ECTS credits
