LUT University

Selected programme options include Master of Science (Technology), Software Engineering — 120 ECTS, two years, Lappeenranta. These are selected examples, not the full catalogue. Availability, campus, mode of study and teaching language must be checked for your intake.

An eligible bachelor's degree in technology, business informatics, business information technology or an approved equivalent is required. Degree-type and awarding-country rules apply. Complete at least 24 ECTS of specified computing-related studies before applying. The minimum arithmetic degree GPA is 3.00 on LUT's 1.00–5.00 scale; LUT assesses the transcript and converts other grading scales. Accepted test examples are IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 92 on the previous scale or 4.5 on the new scale, and PTE Academic 68. Test results must be within two years and remain valid for at least fifteen days after application. Specified prior-degree routes can also qualify; a general English-medium statement alone is not an automatic exemption.

For the autumn 2027 entry route, tuition is EUR 15,000 per academic year for fee-liable non-EU/EEA students, not the full two-year price. A national EUR 100 application fee can also apply. Budget separately for housing, daily expenses, insurance and other charges. Fees are not a university-wide average. Confirm the exact course, fee year, currency, deposit, extra charges and refund conditions before paying.

Rolling applications run from 1 October 2026 at 08:00 to 31 March 2027 at 23:59, Finnish local time. The programme can close earlier when places fill. Admission offers have individual acceptance and payment deadlines; unfinished degrees and supporting documents have separate completion deadlines. Studies begin at the end of August 2027. This is a two-year master's intake, not a year-round course start. A semester start date is not an application closing date. Check scholarship and visa timelines separately.
