Finnish universities promote free research and
provide research-led education. The universities
educate students to serve their country and
humanity.
Universities in Finland are either independent
corporations under public law or foundations un-
der private law. They enjoy distinctive autonomy.
Universities are fi nanced mainly from the govern-
ment budget, but they also seek supplementary
external funding.
There are 16 universities in Finland operating un-
der the Ministry of Education and Culture:
• 10 multi-faculty universities
• 2 universities of technology
• 1 separate business school
• and 3 art universities. (page 3)
Universities confer Bachelor’s degrees (3 years,
180 ECTS credits), Master’s degrees (2 years, 120
ECTS credits) and Doctoral degrees (4 years, 240
ECTS credits). (page 24)
Finnish universities provide over 200 Master’s
degree programmes (page 15) and close to 30
(page 21) doctoral programmes in English.
Degree education is free at Bachelor’s level and
doctorate level, also for international students.
On Master’s level, institutions may charge tuition
fees from non-EU/EEA nationals in certain degree
programmes in English.
Students enrolled in these Master’s programmes
can apply for institutional scholarships.
The Centre for International Mobility CIMO pro-
vides designated scholarships for doctoral-level
studies and research at Finnish universities.
More information is available at:
www.studyinfi nland.fi /scholarships
Finnish higher education institutions select their
students independently. Procedures and practices
vary from one university and faculty to another.
To apply to an international Master’s degree pro-
gramme in a Finnish university, check the en-
trance requirements of each institution, as the
requirements vary between the universities, and
they may also vary according to the programme.
Generally, you will need to have a Bachelor’s de-
gree in a corresponding subject and a good com-
mand of English (an acceptable TOEFL/IELTS score)
to apply to a Master’s programme. The universi-
ties have introduced a joint application service at
www.universityadmissions.fi . However, some
institutions still require direct applications.

Finnish universities of applied sciences (also
known as polytechnics) provide professional
higher education. They are multi-fi eld institutions
with intensive working-life contacts and a region-
al development focus. They are fi nanced mainly
by the government and local authorities.
There are 25 universities of applied sciences in
Finland operating under the Ministry of Educa-
tion and Culture. (page 3)
Universities of applied sciences confer Bachelor’s
and Master’s degrees. A Bachelor’s degree takes
3.5–4 years to complete and encompasses 210–
240 ECTS credits, while Master’s degrees at the
universities of applied sciences hold 60–80 ECTS
credits and build on a Bachelor’s degree and three
years of work experience. (page 24 Universities)
Universities of applied sciences provide education
and training in the following fi elds:
• Humanities and education
• Culture
• Social sciences, business and administration
• Natural resources and the environment
• Technology, communication and transport
• Natural sciences
• Social services, health and sport

Universities of applied sciences offer about 100
Bachelor’s degree programmes (page 20) and
over 30 Master’s degree programmes (page 23)
in English.
Bachelor-level degree education is free, also for
international students.
On the Master’s level, institutions may charge tu-
ition fees from non-EU/EEA nationals in certain
degree programmes in English. Students who are
enrolled in these Master’s programmes can apply
for institutional scholarships.
Finnish higher education institutions select their
students independently.
To apply to a Bachelor’s degree programme at a
university of applied sciences, you will need to
have completed upper secondary education or
equivalent, have a good command of English (an
acceptable TOEFL/IELTS score) and you may have
to take an entrance examination, either in Fin-
land or, in some cases, in your own country.

cation system at www.admissions.fi . You can
apply for up to four different Bachelor’s degree
programmes conducted in English with a single
application.
