Of those selected for the technology field, 80% were admitted based on their grades, and 60% in the field of business.
Additionally, 42 students were selected for the technology field and 67 for the business field through other selection methods, such as the open university pathway and competition success selection.

In addition to the spring joint application procedure, it is also possible to apply to certain bachelor’s programs taught in Finnish and Swedish through transfer application, allowing students to apply for transfer to another university during their first year of study. This year, altogether 30 were admitted to Aalto through that procedure, of which 15 to the field of technology and 15 to the field of business.
