University of Helsinki
Congratulations to all our new grantees!
Since the mid-1980’s, the University of Helsinki has awarded grants to international students. Two years ago the focus of the grant programme was revised. The grants were now targeted entirely for students who are accepted to study in the International Master’s Degree Programmes.
Since then, an increasing number of students have had the chance of receiving the start-up grant (c. 1500 euro). This amount may not cover living expenses in Helsinki; however, we hope it makes settling in a little easier.
Every year we invite the grantees to a reception hosted by one of our rectors. Read the news on this year’s grant reception!
How to apply for the grant? If you get accepted to one of our International Master’s Degree Programmes, you can apply for the grant online after receiving your letter of acceptance. Read more on the criteria on our “Studying” website. The application period for international programmes opens November 19, 2012 and closes January 31, 2013.
