How and when to apply

You apply online at Studyinfo.fi. The application period depends on the studies you are interested in, so check if the programmes of your choice use the joint application, or some other admission route.

Joint application

Many universities use the 3-17 January joint application for September 2024 study start. 

In the joint application, you can apply to up to six (6) programmes with one application form. You can be offered several study places and choose which place you wish to confirm.

Separate applications

Some degree programmes are not included in the joint application, and may therefore have a different application period from the joint application. For example, some university master's have their admissions open already during December 2023. 

Always check the exact application period with the university!

In separate applications, the number of programmes you can apply to is not limited, but as the name implies, you need to send in a separate application for each choice.

Scholarships offered by the universities

The universities and UAS's (universities of applied sciences) in Finland have scholarship options on offer for gifted non-EU students. You usually apply for the scholarship from the university or UAS at the same time when you apply for admission.

Note the special “Finland Scholarships” for university master’s applicants. These you also apply directly from the university.
