How to study in Finland as an international student — application steps, student visas, and living costs.

International students apply to Finnish institutions, then non-EU/EEA students generally apply to Migri for a residence permit for studies. Finland is an EU/Schengen country, so admission, tuition, insurance and permit timing should be planned together.

  • Studyinfo.fi is the official application portal for many higher-education programmes.
  • Non-EU/EEA students normally need Migri residence-permit approval for longer studies.
  • Student permits can include work rights, but hours and conditions must be checked on the current Migri page.
