About the course

A three-year business degree (180 ECTS) covering international business, sustainable business and global sustainability challenges. LUT presents it as a 3 + 2 year bachelor’s and master’s path. Teaching mixes lectures, exercise sessions, company visits and projects, mostly in person on the Lappeenranta campus with some online elements.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• LUT’s international rolling admission is for applicants who have completed, or are close to completing, their school qualification outside Finland. It is non-competitive: you are admitted if you meet the criteria and places remain. LUT publishes no minimum Leaving Cert grades, subjects or Higher/Ordinary levels on the programme page, and CAO points are not used. Under Finnish rules, a completed Leaving Certificate that gives university entry in Ireland should count; confirm with LUT admissions.
• International applicants need the upper secondary certificate plus either an English language test or an SAT or LUT’s OMPT test. Minimum scores and any exemption for schooling in English in Ireland are set out on LUT’s business admission criteria page, which could not be checked for this listing.
• Native English speakers should not assume the Leaving Cert English result is enough. Check whether you need an IELTS/TOEFL-type test or the SAT, and book it early.

2. Book a testTake an accepted English test or the SAT well before you apply, because the results form part of your application.
3. Apply onlineComplete LUT’s online rolling admission form between 1 Sep 2026 and 30 Apr 2027. You can have only one application in progress at a time. Apply early, as the programme can fill before the deadline.
4. Send documentsUpload your school results (predicted or interim if you are still in school) and your test results. Confirm with LUT how and when to send final results, since Leaving Cert results come out in August.
