Nurses Arena Forum

I'm creating this thread thanks to a friend that asked me to. Here I will aggregate all the necessary information you need to study nursing in Finland for FREE at Bachelor, Masters and Doctorate level in English language.

Finland is one of the few Tuition free countries in the world for anyone who wish to study at higher level.

Things to know :

*There are currently no tuition fees charged in Finland
tuition fees for non-EU/EEA students will however be introduced from autumn 2017 onwards
*You will need to cover all your living expenses independently
*At the moment, scholarships are mainly only available for Doctoral / PhD level


Even though there are currently no tuition fees charged, you will need to be able to cover your everyday living expences like food, accommodation, travel, insurance, etc.

How much money will you need?

It is recommended  that you reserve at least 700-900 euros per month for your living expenses in Finland. The minimum amount to have at your disposal, as required by the immigration authorities, is currently 560 euros per month / 6720 euros per year. In addition to this, you should be prepared to cover your travel costs, insurance etc. independently.

Can I earn extra money by working during studies?
Part-time work is allowed for students - but part-time work may not be easy to find especially if you do not know Finnish/Swedish.
