New students admitted to Tampere University

Judging by the number of first-choice applicants, the programmes leading to a degree in economics and business administration, a licentiate degree in medicine, and a degree in psychology were the most popular fields of study at Tampere University. In addition, the programmes leading to a teaching degree, an administrative sciences degree and a social sciences degree received a large number of applications. 

In addition, more than 1000 applicants who sought admission to English-taught programmes were accepted earlier in the spring.

Part of the applicants already got the information about their study place in May when the selection based on the school certificate was published. Tampere University held nearly 30 entrance examinations in May and June.

In the autumn of 2023, Tampere University will welcome 232 new students who sought admission through the performance-based or Open University routes. The number of applicants admitted through the alternative routes increased slightly from last year.

To be eligible for admission via the performance-based admission route the applicant must have completed the course required by the field of study and the academic performance must meet the requirements. The students who were accepted via Open University routes have been completing the route studies that meet the admission requirements.

3321 new students will enrol on the Finnish-language degree programmes at Tampere University in the autumn of 2023.

Welcome to the community, new students!

The welcome weeks for new students will be organised on the campuses on 21–25.8.2023. Tutor groups will meet in person on the campuses.

All newly admitted students are advised to read the new student checklist and programme-specific instructions, which are available on the University’s website, well in advance before the academic semester begins. Read more on the Students Guide.

Newly admitted students must accept their offer of admission no later than 14 July

The results of student admission under the joint national application scheme are available in the My Studyinfo service. Newly admitted students must accept their offer of admission no later than 14 July 2023 at 15.00.

All applicants who sought admission to higher education under Finland's joint national application scheme in the spring will receive a letter with the admission results and the minimum score for admission to each field of study. In some fields of study, applicants placed on the waiting list may still be admitted if places open; the closing date is 1 August 2023 at 15.00.

Applicants who sought admission through the Open University route or universities’ transfer application have been informed of the publication of the admission results by email.
