Plan for the whole experience
Finland’s official guide suggests about EUR 900–1,200 monthly for living costs. Tuition is separate, and university scholarships usually reduce tuition rather than cover everyday expenses.
- Tuition & study
English-taught bachelor’s and master’s programmes usually charge non-EU/EEA/Swiss students tuition, subject to exemptions.
- Everyday budget
Combine rent, food and transport with any applicable student-union and healthcare fees.
- Getting started
Check application fees, insurance and arrival expenses separately; tuition does not include every cost.
- Funding & budgeting
Arrange funding for the full study period; part-time employment is uncertain and should not underpin your budget.
Figures are estimates from official guides; confirm current amounts with your institution and accommodation provider.
Admission & student visas for Finland
Finnish application periods and selection methods vary by programme. Most non-EU/EEA students need a residence permit for studies exceeding 90 days.
- Admission & enrolment
Check Studyinfo and the university, meet the course’s language or examination requirements and secure admission.
- Documents & preparation
Prepare evidence of living funds, tuition coverage and acceptable health insurance.
- Visa & residence process
Normally submit your first application from abroad through Enter Finland, then visit a mission for identity checks and original documents.
The route and documents depend on your nationality, course and circumstances; check the official current checklist before applying.
