Financial arrangements
There are no tuition fees for higher education in Tampere University of Technology. However, the
Student Union membership fee is compulsory for all students.
Students are expected to make their own arrangements for financial support to
cover the fees and other costs, such as travel expenses to and from Finland and
living expenses in Finland.
Unfortunately, Tampere University of Technology cannot offer any financial aid
to international students. Please contact the educational authorities in your
home country to enquire about the availability of financial aid for studies.
The Finnish Centre for Mobility (CIMO) offers scholarships to foreign
postgraduate (i.e. doctoral) students. To apply for these scholarships,
postgradaute students must contact the educational authorities in their
home country. The scholarships are announced annually to the governments of the
recipient countries that will recommend candidates to Finland's Ministry of
Education for final approval.
