About the course

A 210 ECTS business degree taught in English, covering core business subjects and letting you choose one of eight specialisations in the second year, such as Accounting and Finance, Digital Marketing, Supply Chain Management and Sustainable Entrepreneurship. The degree includes a study period abroad and practical training.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • TAMK publishes no specific Leaving Certificate rules. In Finland a completed Leaving Cert that meets Irish entry requirements gives general eligibility, but CAO points, H1–H8 grades and Higher/Ordinary levels are not used to rank you. Confirm with TAMK admissions (admissions.tamk@tuni.fi).
  • Places are awarded on your score in the online International UAS Exam (23 March 2027). No Leaving Cert maths or other subject level is listed as a requirement.
  • English: TAMK says applicants who completed upper secondary education in the EU (so Ireland) do not need an English test certificate. The joint UAS rules say this schooling must be taught and assessed entirely in English, so ask your school for a letter confirming it. Gaelscoil students should expect to need IELTS (6.0) or a similar test.

Costs

  • TAMK publishes a tuition fee of 12,000 euro per academic year for non-EU/EEA citizens only. EU/EEA citizens, including Irish citizens, pay no tuition at Finnish universities of applied sciences. There is no application fee mentioned by TAMK.
Your Leaving Cert points do not count here. Your place depends on the International UAS Exam. TAMK’s deadline for your final certificate (13 July 2027) is before Leaving Cert results are normally issued, so agree a plan with admissions before you accept.
