Which steps should I follow to apply for a Finland intake from outside the EU, and what will my application fee be?

You apply for every Finland intake online through Studyinfo.fi. If you come from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland, you typically pay a one-time fee of around EUR 100 (approx INR 10,666), and that single payment usually covers all your applications for the same study term.

Application Fee and Where You Apply

The Six Steps to Apply

1. Find your programme on Studyinfo.fi at your degree level with the start date you want.
2. Read the programme page for entry rules, the application period and the document deadline.
3. Check the route: joint application, a separate round or rolling admission.
4. Prepare your transcripts, degree certificate, passport and English test score before the window opens.
5. Submit the form and pay the fee before the deadline. Scholarship requests are usually made on the same form.
6. Accept your offer by the date it gives, then apply for your residence permit.

You can usually accept only one place per term, and deferring is allowed only for set reasons such as illness, military service or parental leave.

My Advice

Start with the programme page, because it sets your route and deadline. Gather your documents early and treat your single accepted place as final. Rules and fees can change, so check the official Studyinfo.fi page for the latest details.
