Eligibility
- When applying for bachelor’s programmes, you usually need to hold such school-leaving certificates that make you eligible to apply for higher education in your home country. When applying to a Finnish HEI, you will need your upper secondary school certificates, even if you have completed some higher education studies after that.
- For master’s level admissions, you need to have completed a university-level bachelor’s degree, or equivalent. The eligibility requirements may vary from one degree programme to another, so remember to check the details with the university you are interested in. For example, if you are an eligible applicant, you may additionally be required to complete an entrance exam or an interview.
- If English is not your first language, you may need to demonstrate your English proficiency level. IELTS and TOEFL are the most commonly accepted options, but many institutions also offer others. Check the English proficiency test requirements and any possible exemption rules with the university you are applying to
So how expensive is it to study in Finland, if you have to pay? That depends on the institution: Each university sets their own fees, and they also differ from programme to programme. In the table below, we have compiled the ranges of what some of the largest Finnish universities charge their international students. Expect to pay 6,000 euros per year at the very least, and up to 18,000..
- Housing: ranging from 160 to 400 EUR/month depending on city and type of housing
- Food expenses: at least 200 - 300 EUR/month
Working while studying full-time
According to Migri, international students have a right to work without restrictions if the work is related to their studies. Students can also work other jobs but only for 25 hours per week (part-time) on average during the academic year and work full time with no restrictions during holidays.
That means if you can find a part-time job that fits your studying schedules, it is totally possible to maintain a part-time job while studying full-time. It is very common that students work less hours during the school year, then work full-time during summer and holidays.
Depending on the jobs and personal situations, some students are able to manage to work enough to finance their everyday expenses. However, as recommended by Study in Finland, one should not rely entirely on the income of part-time jobs and the possibility of successfully finding one.
Other types of jobs are available for students.
