Tampere University Tuition Fee Scholarship

50 percent of the tuition fee for the programme duration. Fees for 2027 admission are EUR 12,000 a year for master's and EUR 10,000 for bachelor's. Students without a scholarship can get a EUR 2,000 early bird reduction on first-year fees.

Fields: Any field

   Step 4: Read your admission result

   The scholarship decision comes with your admission result; no separate application is needed.

• Covers only 50 percent of tuition; you pay the rest and living costs
• Total scholarship time cannot exceed the normative duration (two years for master's)
• Plagiarism leads to a warning and then cancellation of the scholarship
• Detailed terms come with your acceptance letter

• Only nine awards were made in 2026, so do not rely on this scholarship alone.
• If you are not selected, the EUR 2,000 early bird reduction applies if you accept and pay within 21 days of admission.
• Upload clear, certified educational documents early; the academic assessment uses them.
• The official fees page lists only a 50 percent tuition scholarship, so plan for the other half of the fee.

Winning the award does not include the visa. Plan your application with our guide for the host country.

• Finland student visa
