Foreword

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

under private law. They enjoy distinctive auto-

nomy. Universities are financed mainly from the

government budget, but they also seek supple-

mentary external funding.

There are 16 universities in Finland operating

under 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 26

Finnish universities provide over 200 Master’s

degree programmes page 16 and over 30

page 23 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.studyinfinland.fi/scholarships

Finnish higher education institutions select their

students independently. Procedures and prac-

tices vary from one university and faculty to

another.

To apply to an international Master’s degree

programme in a Finnish university, check the

entrance requirements of each institution, as

the requirements vary between the universities,

and they may also vary according to the pro-

gramme.

Generally, you will need to have a Bachelor’s

degree in a corresponding subject and a good

command of English (an acceptable TOEFL/IELTS

score) to apply to a Master’s programme. The

universities have introduced a joint application

service at www.universityadmissions.fi. However,

some institutions still require direct applications.

Foreword

Finnish universities of applied sciences (also

known as polytechnics) provide professional

higher education. They are multi-field insti-

tutions with intensive working-life contacts

and a regional development focus. They are

financed 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 Bach-

elor’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 26

tion and training in the following fields:

• Humanities and education

• Culture

tain degree programmes in English. Students
