Entry requirements for Irish students

• LUT accepts upper secondary qualifications completed outside Finland. The Finnish rule is that a school qualification counts if it gives university entry in the country where it was awarded, so a completed Leaving Certificate that meets Irish entry rules should qualify. LUT does not publish minimum Leaving Cert grades, Higher/Ordinary level requirements or a points conversion, so confirm with LUT admissions before you apply.
• Rolling admission is not competitive: you are offered a place if you meet the admission criteria while places remain. LUT lists the criteria as an upper secondary qualification plus a language test or a SAT/OMPT result. Check the technology rolling admission criteria page for the minimum scores and any maths expectations.
• English: LUT’s published criteria refer to a language test. It is not confirmed whether Leaving Cert English or schooling in English in Ireland is accepted instead, so check with LUT admissions.

How to apply

1. Check the admission criteriaRead LUT’s technology rolling admission criteria for the minimum SAT/OMPT and English test results, and ask admissions how they treat the Leaving Certificate.
2. Book any tests earlyIf you need SAT or an English test, book it for autumn 2026 or early 2027 so your results are ready well before places run out.
3. Apply on Studyinfo.fiApply between 1 September 2026 and 30 April 2027. You can apply to only one rolling admission programme at a time. Official translations must come from the awarding institution or an official translator.
4. Accept and send final resultsAccept your offer and send your final Leaving Certificate results when they are issued. Confirm LUT’s deadline for final documents.
