Study in Finland

Considering study in Finland? For international students, Finland offers a multitude of opportunities, an inspiring environment at the crossroads of cultures and an efficient educational system.

Most importantly, Finland offers world-leading expertise in several fields of study, such as information technology, biotechnology, environmental sciences, architecture, music, art and design. But educational opportunities are by no means limited to these areas of Finnish know-how.

The quality of education in Finland is high – but the cost of study is low: Finnish universities and polytechnics do not generally charge tuition fees. Higher education at university level is funded by the state through the Ministry of Education, which also monitors the standard of education through national quality assurance.

Discover Finland is an extensive online resource showcasing Finnish higher education. In addition to an overview of the Finnish educational system, Discover Finland features information on admission requirements, application procedures, student life and practical training opportunities. The site also includes a searchable database of the over 300 international programs offered by Finnish universities and polytechnics.

Discover Finland is maintained by CIMO, the Finnish Centre for International Mobility. Affiliated with the Ministry of Education, CIMO coordinates international education and training programs, administers scholarship and exchange programs, and promotes Finnish education and training programs internationally.
