The cost to study at the University of Helsinki without a scholarship ranges from €13,000 to €18,000 per academic year, varying by the academic field. But with the University of Helsinki scholarships, you can receive 50% or 100% coverage of these fees for a two-year duration, subject to full-time study and academic progress.
Recipients of the University of Helsinki scholarship not only gain financial relief but also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a top-tier education.

If you’re a non-EU/EEA student (excluding Switzerland) and don’t have permanent residence in Finland, you’re eligible for these scholarships.
