What this tells a student deciding on Finland
A high graduate employment rate means the labour market absorbs new graduates quickly — the single most
useful signal when you cannot see salaries. Finland
sits below the European median, so plan for a longer job search.
Public spending per student is the closest thing Europe has to a teaching-quality figure. It is not a fee:
what an international student pays is set by each university and by your nationality, and no European body
publishes it centrally. That is why these pages do not quote a price — and why the US and Canadian pages on
this site do.
Need student health insurance for studying in Finland?
Most US universities require health cover before enrolment. Tell us your dates and country and we will come back with plans that meet your university’s requirement.
Finland: common questions

89% of recent graduates aged 20–34 are employed and no longer studying (2025), ranking Finland 22 of 34 European countries.
How many international students go to Finland?
100 students came from abroad to study at tertiary level (2024).
How much does Finland spend per student?
€15,919 a year of public money per tertiary student (2023). Where the state spends heavily, domestic tuition is usually low — international fees are set separately.
Can you tell me what a degree in Finland costs?
Not from official European data — Eurostat publishes no tuition series, and fees differ by university, programme and nationality. Check the university page directly; for the US and Canada we do publish exact fees, because those governments release them.
