Master's degree orientation - Lahti
Master's degree orientation @ LUT Lahti campus will be organized on 18.-20.8.2026 and Student Welcome Fair on Friday 28.8.2026.
Orientation is compulsory for all new students! The orientation sessions, common to all programmes, are held on campus. Orientation can also be attended remote if an accepted prohibitive reason out of your control demands it, and you are not able to be on campus. However, on-site participation is strongly recommended. There is no possibility to attend the programme specific orientation sessions remotely.
Meanwhile you may already join our Newcomers group to get to know other new students and also meet some of our current students. Instructions for joining are on Starting Studies -page. Make sure to also complete the Checklist for New Degree Students.
Note! Orientation materials and videos are not a replacement for orientation, and students are still required to be present on campus for orientation days. The materials and videos are there as additional support and to remind new students of information given in orientation.
