Opportunity description
Tampere University offers a range of scholarships for international students interested in pursuing English-taught bachelor’s or master’s programs. This opportunity is suitable for students seeking funded bachelor’s or master’s scholarships in Finland, as the university provides a partial tuition fee waiver covering 50% of tuition fees for the standard duration of the degree program.
Although many students search for fully funded scholarships in Finland, the Tampere University scholarships available to students admitted from 2026 onward are classified as partial scholarships. They do not cover the full tuition fees or expenses related to living, accommodation, or travel. The university also offers an Early Bird discount of €2,000 on first-year tuition fees for eligible students who do not receive a scholarship and pay their fees within the specified deadline.
Students apply for the scholarship at the same time as they submit their university admission application. Scholarships are awarded to a limited number of top applicants based on a comprehensive academic assessment. Tampere University is particularly known for its programs in engineering, technology, business, health sciences, and social sciences, making it an attractive destination for international students who wish to study in Finland and benefit from partial scholarships that help reduce tuition costs.
