WHO WE ARE
Study in Finland is a Bangladesh-focused education consultancy helping Bangladeshi students explore and apply for higher education in Finland. We guide students through key stages of the Finland study journey, including choosing a suitable Finnish university or University of Applied Sciences (UAS), selecting a study programme, understanding admission requirements and preparing an application.
Our guidance covers Bachelor’s, Master’s and doctoral study options, programme-specific academic and English-language requirements, tuition fees, scholarships and tuition-fee waivers, living costs, accommodation considerations and the Finnish residence permit for studies. We help students understand the requirements that apply to their chosen institution and programme rather than treating admission or immigration requirements as universal.
From university and programme selection to application preparation, admission and residence-permit guidance, our approach is focused on helping Bangladeshi students understand their options and make informed decisions about studying in Finland.
Bangladeshi students can apply to Finnish universities and Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) for Bachelor’s, Master’s and doctoral studies when they meet the requirements of their chosen programme. Eligibility may depend on previous qualifications, required subjects, relevant credits, English-language proficiency and programme-specific selection criteria. University admission requirements are separate from the requirements for a Finnish residence permit for studies.
Typical qualification: HSC or an accepted equivalent qualification.
Eligibility depends on the selected Bachelor’s programme, including previous education, required subjects, academic criteria and the programme’s selection method.

For Bangladeshi students, tuition fees generally apply to English-taught Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes because Bangladesh is outside the EU/EEA. Tuition fees vary by institution and programme, with many programmes falling within the €8,000–€20,000 annual range. Finnish universities may also offer scholarships or tuition-fee waivers, but availability, eligibility and award amounts are institution-specific and competitive.

I had zero preparation when I first thought about studying abroad. I was confused about the documents and worried about missing something. Mukta Sultana apu guided me throughout. When my Tampere University acceptance letter arrived, I couldn't believe it.
I had several universities in mind but couldn't decide which programme suited me. Mousumi Mou apu helped me compare my options and prepare my application. Seeing Aalto University’s acceptance letter in my inbox was one of my happiest moments.
My biggest concern was whether my academic background was suitable for Finland. Hiya Rashid helped me understand the requirements and prepare everything properly. When the University of Helsinki accepted me, I finally felt confident about my decision.
I kept delaying my application because the process seemed complicated. Aysha Siddika Asha (Shela) explained what I needed and helped me stay on track. Receiving my LUT University acceptance letter after all that preparation was an incredible feeling.
I was worried that one mistake in my application could affect my chances. Mukta Sultana carefully checked my documents before submission. When the University of Oulu acceptance arrived, I felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders.
I knew where I wanted to go, but I didn't know how to get there. Mousumi Mou helped me understand each stage and kept me focused. Receiving my University of Turku admission letter made the whole journey worth it.
Bangladeshi students typically move through 7 key stages when applying to study in Finland: choose a programme, check eligibility, prepare documents, submit the application through Studyinfo.fi — Finland's national application portal for higher education — complete any required selection process, receive an admission decision, and then prepare for a Finnish residence permit for studies (sometimes referred to as a "student visa") if required. Application routes, deadlines, selection methods and programme requirements vary by institution and programme.
Important: Application periods, application routes, deadlines, selection methods and required documents can differ between Finnish institutions and programmes. Always check the current requirements for your chosen programme.
Living costs in Finland depend on your city, accommodation and lifestyle. For practical financial planning, Study in Finland recommends budgeting approximately €900–€1,200 per month, including everyday expenses such as accommodation, food and transportation. Separately, applicants for a Finnish residence permit for studies generally need at least €800 per month (€9,600 for one year) available for living expenses. This immigration requirement is a minimum financial requirement, not a fixed monthly spending limit.
Bangladeshi students are often referred to informally as needing a "Finland student visa" — but the actual requirement is a Finnish residence permit for studies, issued by the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri). It is separate from university admission and has its own documentation, financial and processing requirements.
Note: your actual living expenses may be higher or lower depending on your accommodation, city and lifestyle.
Explore the Complete Cost of Living Guide →Studying in Finland involves more than choosing a degree programme. Bangladeshi students can experience Finnish campus life, student communities, public services and outdoor activities while building skills for their future careers. Your experience can vary by city, university, accommodation and lifestyle. Students with a Finnish residence permit for studies may also work alongside their studies under the applicable conditions.
