Prospective students will have two additional opportunities to secure a study place for the 2026–2027 academic year. Additional application rounds opening in August will enable applicants seeking either a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree to begin their studies in autumn 2026.

Applicants interested in Bachelor’s degree studies can apply during an additional rolling application period running from 14 August to 15 September 2026. This round offers two selection routes: certificate-based admission and SAT-based admission, providing applicants with another opportunity to join one of Centria’s selected Bachelor’s degree programmes in Finland.
- Bachelor of Business Administration: Business Management, Enterprise Resource Planning and International Business

Applicants are encouraged to carefully review programme-specific admission requirements before submitting their applications.
