Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • An upper-secondary qualification must provide university-entry eligibility in its awarding country.
  • The January route uses certificate-based selection for specified Finnish, IB, EB and Finnish DIA/RP qualifications, or SAT-based selection for the ICT degrees.
  • Applicants with other qualifications, including ordinary Indian Class 12 certificates, should check the SAT route and the exact programme selection rules.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • English evidence is separate from academic selection.
  • Oulu lists IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5 as one route.
  • SAT can also prove English under the published language policy, with minimum total 1,050 and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing 480; these are language-evidence thresholds, not a guaranteed admissions ranking or a universal course SAT cut-off.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The course advertises autumn 2027 entry via the January joint application.
  • Its three-plus-two-year structure should be distinguished from the separate October rolling route advertised for International Business Management.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The verified programme application window is 7–21 January 2027.
  • Use the bachelor's application timetable for the precise closing time and separate attachment/test-submission deadlines; a complete application must follow both programme and evidence instructions.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • For new 2027/28 bachelor's entrants, Oulu lists EUR 10,000 per academic year for fee-liable students.
  • A qualifying 30% first-year Early Bird discount reduces that year's amount to EUR 7,000 only when its payment conditions are met.
  • Do not assume the bachelor's price fixes all later master's-stage tuition.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The first-year Early Bird discount is conditional, not automatic for every admitted student.
  • From the second bachelor's year, the listed 30% tuition waiver requires sufficient progress: 60 ECTS in the previous academic year under the approved plan, including required Finnish-language studies.
  • Confirm the current award and payment terms before budgeting a reduced fee.
