About the course

A four-year, 240 ECTS Bachelor of Engineering in industrial information technology, taught on campus in Lahti. LAB says all studies are conducted in English.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • LAB does not mention the Irish Leaving Certificate by name. It asks for a secondary-level diploma that gives eligibility for higher education, so a completed Leaving Cert that meets Irish entry rules should make you eligible, and CAO points are not used. Confirm with LAB admissions how your Leaving Cert grades will be assessed.
  • For the January 2027 intake, LAB’s rolling admission required applicants with upper secondary schooling from outside Finland to have a minimum grade average of 75% for engineering, or SAT scores of at least 600 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and 550 in Maths. LAB says the criteria for the autumn 2027 intake will be published later, so check before applying.
  • English: LAB accepts education completed in English in Ireland or another EU/EEA country as proof of English. Otherwise you need IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (no band below 5.5) or TOEFL iBT 90 (writing at least 22).
