Finland is inviting international students to apply for over 270 English-taught bachelor’s and master’s degree programs for the 2025 academic year. Applications will be accepted from January 8 to January 22, 2025, through the centralized Studyinfo.fi portal. This initiative positions Finland as a leading destination for high-quality education and innovation.
The joint application process simplifies access to diverse academic opportunities across Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences. According to the DAAD Scholarship News, the programs span a wide range of disciplines, including engineering, business, social sciences, and humanities. The flexibility of the system allows applicants to apply for up to six programs with a single application form, enabling students to explore various fields of study suited to their career aspirations.
Applicants must meet eligibility requirements to apply. For bachelor’s programs, completion of upper secondary education or its equivalent is necessary, while master’s programs require a recognized bachelor’s degree in a relevant field. Proof of English language proficiency through tests like IELTS or TOEFL is also mandatory, unless exempted by the institution. Additionally, starting January 1, 2025, non-EU/EEA/Swiss applicants must pay an application fee, with specific details available on the Studyinfo.fi website.
The admission results will begin rolling out in February 2025, with final decisions announced by May 28, 2025. Accepted students must confirm their study places within the given deadline to secure admission for the September 2025 academic session. Finland also offers merit-based scholarships through its universities to support eligible international students, helping to alleviate tuition costs.
Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the official Studyinfo.fi portal for application submissions and additional details. Scholarship information can be found on the Study in Finland Scholarships page, providing prospective students with the resources they need to pursue world-class education in one of Europe’s most innovative and student-friendly countries.
