Requirements for the Bachelor's Degree
The degree must be equivalent to a corresponding Finnish Bachelor's Degree regarding the number of academic years and ECTS credits.
The degree must provide eligibility for applying to university level Master's studies in the country where the degree was awarded in.
Requirements for the degree-awarding university
The university must be recognized by the national education system in the country in question
To be eligible to apply to the programme, you must have completed
a sufficient amount of studies in Electrical Engineering
considered to be enough for the programme by the Admissions Committee.
Note: Studies in Information Technology are not considered to be included in studies in Electrical Engineering.
All these studies must have been completed by the application deadline.
These studies must be completed in one or two of the following groups of universities:
a University, all countries
a University of Applied Sciences, EU/EEA countries and Switzerland
The Admissions Committee for the programme reserves a right to decide whether the completed studies provide the applicant with eligibility to apply to the programme.
Requirements for the programme-related studies Note: You do not have to list the programme-related studies on the application form as the Admissions Committee will check them from your Transcript of Records.
To be eligible to apply to the programme, the arithmetic GPA for the degree you have to apply with must be
a minimum of 3.00 on the scale of 1.00 - 5.00
The arithmetic GPA will be first checked and verified by LUT University. In case the original grading scale not being on a scale of 1.00 - 5.00, the arithmetic GPA will be converted by LUT University on this scale during the evaluation process. Finally, the arithmetic GPA with two decimals will be evaluated.
The arithmetic GPA evaluated in the LUT selection process is
an arithmetic average of grades for all the individual courses and for the grade for the Final Thesis included in the degree you have to apply with
that have been completed at the time of applying
that have been evaluated on a numerical, verbal or on a letter-based grading scale
that are listed on an official Transcript of Records
What is excluded from the arithmetic GPA?
Courses evaluated with 'pass' or 'fail'
Courses evaluated with a grade corresponding to a failed grade
Courses without a related study unit such as ECTS credit, credit, credit hour etc.
Combined modules including only a single grade for all the courses included in the module unless the individual courses having been evaluated separately
Courses not included in the degree you have to apply with
Courses not included in the degree you have to apply with that have been credited or compensated unless the degree-awarding university having evaluated them on a numerical, verbal or on a letter-based grading scale
You must prove your proficiency in English with one of the following:
one of the accepted language tests
a degree in higher education completed in English in an EU/EEA country or in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, United Kingdom or the United States of America
a degree in higher education completed in Finnish or in Swedish in Finland
Language Test result when required Upload a scan for the test result or a screenshot from your test account. The result is always electronically verified from the test database.
CV including a short career plan Upload a CV including your career plan (max. 10 rows)
Additional educational documents when required + official translations when required Upload a scan for the original/s. When proving your proficiency in English with another degree apart from the one you are applying with. When having completed programme-specifically required university-level studies not included in the degree you are applying with.
Passport or ID card with nationality Upload a scan for the document or card.
Finnish Residence Permit Card Upload a scan for both sides of the card if having one.
What is an unfinished Bachelor's Degree?
You have not yet graduated = you have not been awarded your Degree Certificate or the Provisional Degree Certificate
Having completed all your studies does not mean that you have graduated unless having been awarded the Degree Certificate or the Provisional Degree Certificate.
If not being able to upload your Degree Certificate or the Provisional Degree Certificate by the supplementary deadline, you must identify your status on the application form as "not yet graduated".
When applying
Indicate the estimated date of graduation on your Application Form
No official statement for the date required from the home university
Upload your latest Transcript of Records to your Online Application Form
plus the official translation (when required)
The Transcript of Records must include the name of the degree to be awarded.
If not included, an additional statement issued by the awarding university about the name of the degree must be uploaded to your Online Application Form.
If admitted
If admitted, you must be able to
Graduate by 31 August 2025
Provide us with the following documents by 31 August 2025 at 15:00 (UTC+3)
Scan for your original Degree Certificate
Scan for your original Transcript of Records
Provide us with the following documents by 5 September 2025 at 15:00 (UTC+3)
Scans for the official translations in English for both the documents (when applicable)
Official translations required, if the original documents are not issued in English, Finnish or Swedish.
The documents must be provided according to the given instructions despite of the country the degree was awarded in.
If not being able to meet with both the requirements by the given deadlines, your right to study in the programme will automatically be cancelled and you will lose your place without a possibility to claim it back.
You do not list the required programme-related studies on your application form but the conversion will help you understand whether you have the required studies or not.
How to get the conversion factor?
Even though you will not list the previous required studies on the application form, you may still need to find out whether you have the required studies or not and may therefore, need to convert the related courses to ECTS credits when necessary.
Divide 180 ECTS credits (= the total credits for a LUT Bachelor’s Degree) by the total number of all the original study units (credits, credit hours etc.) you have completed for the Bachelor’s degree that you are applying with
As a result you will get a factor for the following conversion.
How to convert your study units to ECTS credits?
Multiply the original number of study unit (credits, credit hours etc.) for your courses with the factor explained above
As a result you will have your courses in ECTS credits
Case example:
The total study units completed for your Bachelor’s Degree are 120 credits and you need to convert a course with 2 credits to ECTS credits. Divide 180 ECTS credits by 120 credits >> the conversion factor is 1.5 Multiply 2 credits with the factor 1.5 >> your course is equal to 3 ECTS credits.
Do not round up the result for the converted ECTS credits: If the result is 3.84 ECTS credits, it must also be counted as 3.84 ECTS credits.
You must indicate the original study units for your Bachelor's Degree in total on your application form.
If you have completed a combination of degrees that together correspond to a Bachelor's Degree you must indicate the total number of original study units for all those degrees.
If applying with an unfinished degree, you must indicate the total scope of studies that is expected to be completed for being able to graduate.
The Admissions Committee for the programme always reserves a right to decide whether the degree and the completed studies provide the applicant with eligibility to apply to the programme.
The Admissions Committee checks the academic eligibility regarding to the previous programme-related studies and the minimum arithmetic GPA for the degree you have to apply with.
The eligible applications go under academic evaluation and the selection process is based on
Academic success
CV including a short career plan
A limited number of applicants will be admitted.
Academic success, max. 5 points
The points for the selection process are equal to the arithmetic GPA on a scale of 1.00 - 5.00 for the degree you have to apply with.
CV including a short career plan, max. 3 points
Your CV including a short career plan of 10 rows is evaluated.
