Software Engineering Master’s orientation - Lappeenranta

Orientation days for students starting their studies @ LUT Lappeenranta campus in international programmes (taught in English) are organized from 26th to 29th of August 2025. For detailed orientation schedule, scroll down.

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.

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, or if you are sick during the orientation, 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.

Note! Online orientation is only for those feeling sick during the orientation or not yet in Finland (for some coercive reason only) during the orientation.
