Tuition fees for rights to study beginning on or after 1 August 2025 · Faculty-wide rate · Non-EU students

Aalto prices tuition by field, not by major: €12 000 per academic year covers every bachelor's programme in the Field of Technology, which is all six majors of the Bachelor's Programme in Science and Technology. EU/EEA and Swiss citizens pay nothing. Aalto attaches no academic year to this figure — it publishes it as the rate for study rights beginning on or after 1 August 2025 — so the period is recorded as Aalto states it. Admission gives a combined bachelor's + master's study right; the study-option page states the master's phase costs €17000/y. A 25% first-year reduction applies if the offer is accepted and paid early (see scholarships), and students also pay the compulsory AYY student union fee.

  • Aalto University Excellence Scholarship

    A tuition fee waiver covering the full tuition fee, granted for the normative study period (three years for a bachelor's degree) and conditional on full-time study to the approved personal study plan. Living costs are not covered.

    Eligibility: Merit-based and granted on a competitive basis to the highest-achieving applicants against the programme's evaluation criteria. Open only to non-EU/EEA applicants liable for tuition fees, and applied for on the admission application form itself - it cannot be applied for later. Programmes may decide to grant none at all.

    Aalto describes the award as covering "the full tuition fee" rather than quoting a percentage, so no coverage percentage is recorded here. Aalto also states the number of awards is very limited and the decision cannot be appealed.

How Aalto compares

Against the other universities in Finland on StudyPath, using each one's verified international fees and its own published housing prices. Universities are only compared with others charging in the same currency (and, for housing, for the same period), so no figure here has been converted. A ~ marks a year worked out from a per-term or whole-course fee.

Aalto's lowest undergraduate fee for international students is €12,000 a year, for Chemical Engineering (major in the Aalto Bachelor's Programme in Science and Technology). Of the 3 other universities in Finland we list with undergraduate fees in EUR, 2 charge less, 1 charges the same. Their lowest undergraduate fees run from €10,000 (Oulu) to €12,000 (LUT).

Student housing. Aalto's own lowest published rate is €400 per month. Of the 3 other universities in Finland we list that publish housing per month in EUR, 3 charge less. Their lowest published rates run from €237 (LUT) to €250 (TAU).

Living costs. The living-cost figure for a student visa to Finland is €800 per month, on top of tuition (undated figure; read 27 Sept 2026 from migri.fi). The authority attaches conditions that can change this amount; see them in full on student finance.

Work during study

A student holding a Finnish residence permit for studies may work in paid employment, in any field, for an average of 30 hours per week (raised from 25 hours by a legislative amendment effective 15 April 2022) — equivalent to an average of 120 hours per month or 1,560 hours per year. The weekly figure can be exceeded in some weeks as long as the yearly average stays at or under 30 hours, and a student may work full-time during holidays provided the same yearly average is respected. Diploma work or internships that are a credit-bearing, agreed part of the student's own degree are exempt from the hours limit entirely (unless registered as an internship only after the fact, in which case the 30-hour limit applies).

Post-study work visa

Residence permit for students and researchers to look for work or start a business . Up to 2 years
Available to someone who has held a Finnish residence permit for studies or for research and does not yet have a job, or has one that doesn't pay enough to qualify for a work-based permit. It must be applied for within 5 years of the study/research permit expiring. A first or extended permit under this route can be granted for up to 2 years in total, and can optionally be taken in up to three separate parts, each at least 6 months long, with the last part ending within 3 years of when the first part started. The permit carries an unrestricted right to work in any field while it is valid, so no new permit is needed the moment a job is found — though a graduate who does find qualifying work should still apply for a residence permit on the basis of that work (e.g. the 'degree completed in Finland' permit) before this one expires. Holding a full 2-year job-seeking permit does not, on its own, count as meeting the residence requirement for a permanent residence permit granted on jobseeking/business-founding grounds specifically — a graduate still needs to separately meet a permanent-residence application path's own requirements.

Route to permanent residence

A graduate who secures qualifying work can obtain a continuous residence permit (an 'A permit', e.g. the 'degree completed in Finland' work permit, which carries an unrestricted right to work) and, once holding a valid A permit, is on the path toward a permanent residence permit. As of a set of Aliens Act amendments that entered into force on 8 January 2026, the period-of-residence requirement for a permanent residence permit is no longer a flat figure: an applicant must choose an 'application path' with its own required period, and the Finnish Immigration Service's own page uses 6 years (2,190 days) as its example of the current standard continuous-residence requirement — up from the 4 years that applied to applications submitted before that date. 'Continuous residence' does not require physical presence the whole time: a person must have actually resided in Finland for at least half of that qualifying period (e.g. at least 3 years out of a 6-year period), with ordinary travel not breaking continuity as long as absences don't add up to more than half the permit's validity. A separate, faster P-EU (EU long-term resident) permit route, unaffected by the January 2026 change, still requires 5 years.

“For example, if the required period of continuous residence in Finland is 6 years (2,190 days), you are required to have resided in Finland for at least 3 years (1,095 days) in total during the 6-year period.”

Route to citizenship

Finnish citizenship is decided by the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) — the same authority that runs residence permits. Following amendments that entered into force 1 October 2024, the standard period-of-residence requirement is 8 years of living in Finland, reduced to 5 years if the applicant already meets the language-skills requirement for citizenship (Finnish or Swedish at least at 'satisfactory,' CEFR-equivalent B1, level) — Migri's own page frames this explicitly as one of several situations where the 8-year figure is reduced, alongside routes for a Finnish spouse, a Nordic citizen, and others. A further amendment took effect 17 December 2025 (chiefly changing income/livelihood documentation), underlining that this is an area under active reform and worth re-checking before relying on it. Finland permits multiple/dual citizenship: Migri's own FAQ states directly that acquiring another country's citizenship does not cause loss of Finnish citizenship, 'Finnish legislation allows multiple citizenship (dual citizenship)' — so becoming a Finnish citizen does not require renouncing an applicant's original nationality.

What the government currently prioritises

Finland gates its standard employment-based residence permit with a 'labour market test': an occupation is treated as short of labour — and the employer excused from having to prove no suitable local/EU/EEA candidate exists — when that occupation appears in the relevant regional Economic Development Centre's own work permit policy (classified at the 4-digit ISCO occupation-code level), or when it is designated a 'national labour shortage sector' by the Government's own Labour Force Barometer tool. Outside those listed occupations/sectors, an oversupply reading on the Labour Force Barometer generally blocks a new employment-based permit from outside the EU/EEA. Separately, a graduate who has completed their own degree in Finland can apply for the 'degree completed in Finland' work permit, which does not require a labour market test at all regardless of occupation. StudyPath does not reproduce the specific regional or national shortage-sector lists themselves, which live on affiliated sites (elinvoimakeskus.fi, tyovoimabarometri.fi) outside migri.fi and change periodically.

“If the main occupation that is stated in an employee's residence permit application is named in the regional work permit policy of the Economic Development Centre, the availability of labour is regarded as reduced in the occupation in question and in the region in question. In such situations, the employer does not need to establish the availability of labour.”

Read 17 August 2026. Finland is mid-reform on permanent residence: the standard period-of-residence requirement doubled in structure (from a flat 4 years to a 6-year default under a new multi-path system) with the change taking effect only 8 January 2026, so figures published before that date, or on non-official pages that haven't updated, may still say 4 years generally — StudyPath reflects the post-8-January-2026 rule. All figures in this entry are cited to migri.fi (Maahanmuuttovirasto, the Finnish Immigration Service), the sole domain pre-approved for Finland on StudyPath. Collection note: migri.fi sits behind a bot-detection challenge that returns HTTP 403 to both this project's plain-HTTP fetcher and a curl fallback with browser-style headers, so every migri.fi source in this entry was archived via the project's real-browser fallback (a real browser) rather than the normal fetching path, per the documented escalation rule for JavaScript-/bot-protection-gated sources. Finland does not appear on StudyPath's university list yet, so this entry is general country-level context, collected the same way Ireland's, the Netherlands' and New Zealand's were. citizenshipRoute added 17 August 2026: migri.fi sat behind the same Cloudflare bot-check documented above for this country, so its 'Period of residence' page, the standalone 'Language skills' page for citizenship specifically (9705b25155aacd0c — distinct from a similarly-named page under Residence permit that covers permanent-residence-permit language rules instead, a naming collision worth knowing about) and the citizenship FAQ were all archived via a browser capture after the security check cleared, then saved with a browser capture against their real URLs. naturalisationStatus set to 'published-route' on 18 August 2026: the authority already cited under citizenshipRoute publishes criteria a foreign resident could actually follow, which is the only claim this field makes. It is deliberately not a judgement about how attainable that route is in practice. citizenshipTerms records 8 years, the general period-of-residence requirement Migri states first. Migri lists the 5-year period as one of several situations in which the requirement is shorter — it applies where the applicant already meets the citizenship language-skills requirement — so 5 is a reduction from the published general case rather than the general case itself.
