National Defence University in Helsinki

Unlike the other schools in this list, the National Defence University is not considered a university by Finnish law, although it has the authority to award bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees and to pursue free research. The practical effect of this distinction is minor, most notable in the administrative organisation of the college, which is military instead of civilian.
