Autumn Intake (August/September) |
- Primary Intake:
This is the main intake and is offered by most Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences.
- Advantages:
Most programs, including bachelor’s and master’s degrees, are available during this intake, along with more scholarships and other resources for incoming students.
| The main application period is typically in January for degree programs starting in the autumn, though some universities may have an additional application round in March or April. |
Spring Intake (January) |
- Secondary Intake:
Not as widely available as the autumn intake, but several universities and UASs still offer programs starting in January, particularly in fields like business, engineering, and technology.
- Advantages:
Ideal for students who may need more preparation time or who missed the main intake. However, fewer programs are available compared to the autumn intake.
| Typically between September and October of the previous year, though exact dates vary by institution. |
