Housing services

LUT University’s green and modern campuses offer a compact combination of all of the services students need. Most student apartments are located within walking distance, and there are plenty of excellent sports and recreation venues. You can apply for student housing in Lappeenranta with LOAS, in Lahti with Lahden Talot, in Mikkeli with MOAS and in Kouvola with Kouvolan Asunnot.

Library services

Academic Library in Lappeenranta serves customers the same friendly way as before. If you study or work in Lahti, Mukkulankatu Industria library and Niemenkatu Scientia library are the places to find. You can still borrow items using your old library card.

When needed, new customers will get a library card for borrowing. 

Medical services

All foreign students must have adequate health/travel insurance while they are studying at LUT. Citizens of EU/EEA countries and the countries mentioned above only need to obtain the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) from the social security authorities in their home country or buy a private insurance.

Our international community consists of almost 9,000 members of nearly 100 different nationalities. Our campuses are located in the cities of Lappeenranta and Lahti, Finland.  We offer also few master's programmes in our regional units in Kouvola and Mikkeli.

Sports facilities

High quality, affordable and versatile sports services for LUT University students on both campuses are provided by MOVEO.

Student clubs

Singing? Climbing? Hiking? Acting? Heavy metal music? Ultra-economical car design? Whatever your interests, the chances are that we will have the club you are looking for. Joining a club is an ideal way to get to know new people or discover a totally new hobby. LUT has around 30 clubs that are always more than ready to welcome international students. 

Accreditation

We aim to be a forerunner in education by securing international quality labels for our degree programmes as a sign of excellence in the teaching.
