Hi, scholarships are provided by the individual universities - you usually apply for the scholarship from the university at the same time when you apply for admission. See www.studyinfinland.fi for advice on how you can proceed!

Hi there, for specialisation options you'd need to be in direct contact with the universites offering Medicine (see list for example here, it's only in Finnish though - www.laaketieteelliset.fi/opiskelu/laaketiede). For licencing i.e. practice right info, see Valvira's site valvira.fi/en/healthcare-and-social-welfare/rights-to-practise

HI, Finnish universities offer scholarships, each with its own programme and requirements. You usually apply for the scholarship from the university when you apply for admission. Check with the university you’re interested in to learn more. See www.studyinfinland.fi/admissions and www.studyinfinland.fi/scholarships

You can find initial information about the application process at www.studyinfinland.fi/admissions and get detailed advice from the university or UAS you’re applying to. Be sure to also check the detailed instructions at www.studyinfo.fi

Hi, you'll find starter's information about applying to master's (and after that, PhD) at www.studyinfinland.fi/admissions. For student accommodation info, see www.studyinfinland.fi/life-in-finland/accommodation. Note that if you're planning to move to Finland with your family, the related social matters are not found at "Study in Finland", instead you should visit for example www.infofinland.fi. Whether your family would be eligible to any social benefits, this you need to check with www.kela.fi.

Hi there, sorry but "Study in Finland" only has information on higher education - so if you're interested in upper secondary school matters, please see for example www.infofinland.fi/en/education/general-upper-secondary-school and opintopolku.fi/konfo/en/sivu/general-upper-secondary-education-lukio - If you'd like to apply to university-level studies - see our site www.studyinfinland.fi (or if you'd like to apply to studies offered in Finnish, www.opintopolku.fi )

Hi, teacher's profession in Finland is fairly strictly regulated - you do need a Master's but also there are other requirements- see general info at for example: www.sool.fi/in-english/the-finnish-school-system/ and toolbox.finland.fi/life-society/teachers-in-finland/ In addition, you should keep in mind that the language of teaching in Finnish schools is predominantly Finnish or Swedish, so language skills may also be required. So if you plan to apply to a Master's in Education, you could contact the university offering the programme, and ask with them what requirements they have for those who wish to get a teacher's qualification - including the possible language skills requirement.

Hi, yes one does need to pay for a student flat- but it's usually more economical than a flat from the open market. See www.studyinfinland.fi/life-in-finland/accommodation

Hi there, scholarships for bachelor's and master's in Finland are not offered by the government, but by the individual Finnish universities - you usually apply for the scholarship from the university at the same time when you apply for admission. See www.studyinfinland.fi > "Admissions" and "Scholarships" for info on how you can proceed!

Hi there, you can usually only apply for student housing *after* you have been admitted, so your first step would be to aply for admission. If you get in, then there are several resources for you - see the University of Turku advice on accommodation: www.utu.fi/en/study-at-utu/accepted-students/housing Note for example the "Turku Student Village Foundation" (tys.fi/en) - they say on their site that "You can fill in the housing no earlier than 3 months before the need for an apartment." But anyway, you'll get information on these practical things from the university once you've been officially admitted, so don't worry. The nuviersity can always advise you, although you do need to independently apply for student housing.

Hi, scholarship options are offered by the individual universities, so check with the university of your choice! Tuition fees depend on the programme, varying between 8.000-20.000€ per year. See: www.studyinfinland.fi/admissions/bachelors-and-masters-admissions - www.studyinfinland.fi/admissions/fees-and-costs - www.studyinfinland.fi/scholarships/bachelors-and-masters-scholarships

Hi, if you mean for internships - depends on the employer really, but as far as we know ACCA is not as such used in Finland, we have our own system for Auditor oversight (www.prh.fi/en/auditoroversight.html). If you're refering to studies - the same thing, your eligibility as an applicant is always decided by the Finnish university you're applying to, so there's as such no "national" policy regarding student applicants who hold ACCA or other similar qualifications. So check with the university in Finland you'd like to apply to! See www.studyinfinland.fi for starter's advice on how to go about it!

I've finished the finnish course, on my 435th day tday

Hi, the universities independently decide on their PhD applicants' eligibility, but generally speaking yes if you have a Master's you can apply to PhD level. See www.studyinfinland.fi/admissions/doctoral-admissions

I want to study Human Psychology, is this possible?

@@EfetoboreMoses-g7j - Psychology degrees might be only available in Finnish or Swedish, especially on undergraduate level - which would mean you'd need to know either of those languages quite well to apply. But you can check if there are any related English-taught degree options at the national databse www.studyinfo.fi - also see our starter's advice at www.studyinfinland.fi/admissions/bachelors-and-masters-admissions

Hi there - first f all, if you have a Medical qualification, and would like to find health-related employment in Finland, you'll need to have your Medical degree recognised by Valvira- see valvira.fi/en/healthcare-and-social-welfare/rights-to-practise As for possible studies in Biology & what you should choose... we'd recommend you choose the subject(s) of your studies according to what really interests you, what you are passionate and motivated about; then, check for potential degree programmes at www.studyinfo.fi and contact the university in question for detailed admission advice if necessary. The university can also best advise you on possible career options. ("Study in Finland" does not have detailed info on job prospects in Finland, we're more about providing starter's info for prospective students - see www.studyinfinland.fi - but do also see our work-related links at www.studyinfinland.fi/life-finland/working-in-finland)

Hi there, "Study in Finland" does not as such have information on job vacancies but if you're looking for work-related information, do please see the links we have at www.studyinfinland.fi/life-finland/working-in-finland

Hi, the student housing options can also include family apartments. But what kind of student housing options are on offer exactly, this depends on the location; so you'd need to check this kind of accommodation matters with the university in Finland you're going to be studying at. They can best advise you to the local student accommodation info sources!.

​@@studyinfinlandhey from where can i check

@@tamannamahajan4044 - you'll find starter's info on study-related matters, also regarding accommodation, on our site www.studyinfinland.fi

Agreed - the thing is, Finnish universities do offer a lot of degree programmes taught completely in English, so one does not absolutely *need* to know Finnish to study here. However learning the local language(s) of course has many benefits - makes life easier in several ways!

Hi, this might indeed be recommended in certain areas of Finland (mainly along the western coast) where Swedish is actually the predominant language :) However, while Finland is officially a bilingual country, in many areas Finnish does kind of dominate so it depends. See for example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish-speaking_population_of_Finland Anyway, learning new languages -even when there's two of them- is never a bad idea!

Hi there, we do not know of any Finnish language learning scholarships unfortunately, but you'll find info on studying Finnish (including online options) at www.infofinland.fi/en/finnish-and-swedish As for working, see for example the links we have at www.studyinfinland.fi/life-finland/working-in-finland (Our Study in Finland service is mainly about full degree studies offered in English www.studyinfinland.fi - foreign students admitted to English-taught degree programmes in Finland can usually include Finnish or Swedish language courses to their degree studies!)

Hi there, we're afraid we do not have an answer to this question. We'd recommend you turn to KELA www.kela.fi directly, as they're the experts in questions relating to possible social/integration benefits, and under which particular conditions these might be available for student RP holders. (See also for example www.kielibuusti.fi/en/learn-finnish/language-tests-and-integration/integration-training-for-immigrants )

Yes, you're right, unfortunately.

Finland is a wonderful place period

Why? Will you explain please

@@julialindejulia The reason is, the state & society see both legal & illegal as the same. Subsequently, in a recent move, they have increased the residency permit from 5 to 8 years for both categories of immigrants. . For people likewise the same person that replied here with saying that Finland is a wonderful place period, yes Finland is an excellent place as long as they have great benefits. . However, if the current government of Finland reduces their social benefits, then this country would become the worst place. That is the negative point of Finland that, with social benefits, makes immigrants specially the illegal ones reluctant to work. . According to recent surveys (you can easily Google it from Yle), majority of legal immigrants are planning to leave Finland permanently. . Finland is neither my country nor I have something against it. The core of our discussion is that Finland is not a right place for [majority of the] legal immigrants. Good luck!

@ Thank you for such a detailed answer 🙏🏼

Hi, whether you need IELTS or not depends on the university/degree course; also the universities independently decide on your eligibility and other entry requirements. So we'd recommend you first search for the suitable degree programme at www.studyinfo.fi and then -rather than relying on any hearsay- check all the requirements with that particular university. Also see our site www.studyinfinland.fi for starter's advice on applying and studying in Finland! At migri.fi/en/residence-permit-application-for-studies you can find out about residence permit matters, also regarding students' family members.

Thanks for your kind information.

Hi, this kind of permit details you need to check with the Finnish immigration authorities (Migri migri.fi/en/students-family-members - or your nearest Finnish diplomatic mission). It may depend on your situation and the possible permit handling queues.
