Tuition Free Universities in Finland

TUITION FREE UNIVERSITIES IN FINLAND

Tuition Free Universities in Finland

In Finland University Education is being funded by the States through the Ministry of Education. Students that enrolled in regular degree studies pay no tuition fees. However Students in both Universities and Polytechnics have to pay for their books and other materials, accommodations and living expenses. It is important to state categorically that there is an exception to this rule: The Finnish Ministry of Education has specified specific English Language Master's degree programmes for which it is possible for Finnish higher education institution to collect school fees from non- EU/EEA Nationals.

Below is a list of some of the universities in Finland.

University of Helsinki

The University concentrates on high-level scientific research and researcher education. Scientific research is also the basis of the teaching provided by the University. The University operations support the development of society, as well as business and industry. University representatives offer their competencies for the benefit of society through a number of positions of trust and expertise. The results produced by the research and teaching carried out at the University have been widely acclaimed. The University participates in more than half of the national Centres of Excellence in Research, elected by international scientific panels.

Tuition Fees: In Finland, annual tuition fees will be introduced to foreign-language Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes starting on August 1, 2017 or later. At the University of Helsinki, this in practice refers to Master’s programmes in English. Citizens of non-EU/EEA countries, who do not have a permanent residence status in the area, are liable to these fees.

Scholarships: The University of Helsinki will give about 50 scholarships to qualified degree students who are accepted to study in an International Master’s Degree Programme. The different scholarships are of 3 types:

  • Fully Funded Grant (Tuition fee + 10 000 EUR)

  • Full Tuition fee Grant

  • Study Grant (10 000 EUR)

Cost of Living: All students have to pay for their accommodation and living expenses as well as their books and other study materials. The total monthly living expenses of a single student average from 700 to 1000 euro – depending on your spending habits.

You should make sure that you make arrangements for adequate funding for your entire period of study before leaving your home country. However, as a student you have access to several student benefits, which can make your life a little easier.
