Technology and business programmes
LUT offers altogether eight Finnish-language bachelor’s programmes in technology , specifically in the fields of energy technology, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, industrial engineering and management, environmental technology, and computational science and artificial intelligence.
In bachelor’s studies in business, students choose their field of specialisation at the end of their first year, after core studies. The alternatives are supply management, accounting, business analytics, international marketing, and strategic finance. LUT Business School’s education focuses on responsible and sustainable business.
LUT University’s student admissions in technology follow the national joint admission process in their field. Technology programmes fill 80 per cent and business programmes 60 per cent of their available places through certificate-based admission or admission based on prior academic records.
Social and communication sciences programmes
The social sciences degree programme offers bachelor’s programmes in two fields: social sciences and communication sciences. Both programmes include studies in critical societal systems. As an outcome, students gain a multidisciplinary, comprehensive understanding of how a sustainable society operates.
LUT’s social and communication sciences programmes fill 60 per cent of their student places through certificate-based admission. All admission requirements are available on LUT’s website.

Entrance examinations for all of LUT’s fields of study are arranged in early June. Entrance examinations are for applicants who were not admitted based on their certificates.
