Thinking of changing your major? Autumn transfer application opens on 2 November
Do you feel you may have chosen the wrong path and that another major subject or degree programme might be a better fit for you? You can apply for transfer in transfer application between 2–16 November 2026 if your bachelor’s studies in the Finnish university are unfinished. You can apply for transfer from one Finnish university to the University of Oulu or within the University of Oulu from one degree programme or major to another.
This autumn, four of 42 degree programmes available for application are taught in English:
- Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering;
- Degree Programme in Electronics and Communications Engineering;
- Degree Programme in Software Engineering and Information Systems; and
- Degree programme in International Business Management.

Notice that you must have enough study time to finish your degree in target time, as the study time will not be extended. The new study right begins on 1 January 2027.
You can apply for a transfer to the University of Oulu twice a year. The application period is organized in autumn and spring. The University of Oulu does not currently admit transfer students from foreign higher education institutions or universities of applied sciences.
