It is important to bear in
mind that there are two
types of academic
institutions in Finland: UAS
(Universities of Applied
Sciences) which are more
focused on the practical
labor market needs, and
Universities which are more
academically inclined. Be
sure to check out the o icial
website for International
Students looking to study in
Finland here.
Unfortunately, it is harder to
avoid tuition fees if you are a
non-EU or EEA citizen.
International fees apply, but
not to worry – there are tons
of online scholarships you
can apply so that you can
study in Finland for free. To
apply for scholarships, refer
directly to the university’s
websites to see which
scholarships you are eligible
for. For example, on the
University of Helsinki’s
website, they take you on a
step-by-step guide to
applying for scholarships if
you are a non-EU/EEA or
Swiss citizen. On their
website specifically, they
specify that for a Master’s
program, your scholarship
application can be the exact
same as your Master’s
application. Bear in mind
that most of the time,
scholarships are awarded
based on academic merit.
Scholarships are usually
applied for in conjunction
with your degree or program
application.
