About the course

A 210 ECTS daytime programme in English leading to a Bachelor of Hospitality Management, focused on hospitality business and designing customer service experiences. Teaching is face to face at the Leppävaara campus using Laurea’s project-based ‘Learning by Developing’ approach.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Finnish universities of applied sciences accept a school qualification that gives eligibility for higher education in the country where it was awarded, so a completed Leaving Certificate that meets Irish entry rules should count. No minimum grades, subjects or Higher/Ordinary levels are set and CAO points are not converted. Leaving Cert holders are normally ranked by an entrance exam, not their results. Confirm with Laurea admissions (admissions@laurea.fi).
  • Laurea had not published the selection method for this programme when checked. English-taught UAS programmes usually select through the online International UAS Exam (23 March 2027); check the Studyinfo.fi entry before applying.
  • English: you must prove English at B2 level. Upper secondary schooling completed in English in an EU/EEA country is accepted, but get a school letter confirming this, as the Leaving Cert certificate does not state it. Otherwise IELTS Academic 6.0 or equivalent.
