Over 9,000 applications for the University of Oulu's international degree programmes

In the first joint application period of spring 2025, the University of Oulu received 9564 applications from 6687 applicants. A total of 828 study places are offered in 23 English-taught programmes. Two of these lead to both a bachelor's and a master's degree, while the rest are two-year master's programmes.

The most popular degree programmes were Computer Science and Engineering, International Business Management and Business Analytics.

“We are delighted that so many applicants chose the University of Oulu. I encourage all applicants to take part in info sessions and learn more about studying and living in our beautiful city,” says Marja Jokinen, Marketing Director of the University of Oulu.

Education is subject to tuition fees for students coming from outside the EU and EEA countries. As a new practice, an application fee is charged at the time of application.

Student selections for international programmes will be published by May 28. The programmes will start in autumn 2025.

Applications for Finnish-taught bachelor's and master's programmes will be accepted during the second joint application period in spring, from 11th to 25th March 2025.
