Work snapshot
A student residence permit normally allows paid work averaging 30 hours per week. A qualifying graduate may apply for up to two years to look for work or start a business.
* Tuition figures are supplied study guide data and may exclude deposits, registration, administration, insurance, visa support, examination, living and travel costs.
Bachelor admission
The supplied benchmark is HSC completion with 60% academic results and IELTS overall 6.0. The university decides certificate equivalency and accepted language evidence.
An entrance examination or interview may be required. Follow the exact programme’s admission method and deadlines.
Master admission
The study guide lists a completed bachelor degree, 60% academic benchmark and IELTS overall 6.5. Relevant prior studies, work experience or other selection evidence can also be required.
Check programme delivery carefully. A mainly online course does not normally provide a basis for a Finnish student residence permit.

Bangladeshi applicants normally need a student residence permit for study lasting over 90 days. Apply after receiving an eligible admission offer. Prepare tuition funding, personal living-cost funds and suitable insurance. Family members apply separately under the applicable family-ties rules. Your decision and permit conditions determine your rights.
Work while studying
A student residence permit normally allows paid work averaging 30 hours per week. A qualifying graduate may apply for up to two years to look for work or start a business.
FUNDING
Scholarships to study in Finland
Scholarships and tuition waivers are offered by individual universities and can be competitive. Read the award amount, payment deadlines and renewal requirements before budgeting. A tuition waiver does not automatically fund housing, food, travel or insurance. FA International can help organise your documents and review the application instructions.
Safe payment rule
Pay only after checking the official offer, institutional beneficiary, total fee schedule and written refund terms. A visa decision is made only by the competent authority.
CLEAR ANSWERS
Before you apply
Is an intake shown for every programme?
The supplied Finland study guide has no intake months. You can still select and compare every programme; ask us to check the current admission window with the university.
Can I use MOI instead of IELTS?
Do not assume MOI is accepted. Each university specifies which qualifications and English evidence it accepts for the exact programme.
Are these total course fees?
No. The Finland programme tables show annual tuition. Use the listed duration and university payment schedule to build a complete budget.
