According to the Finland Universities Act that came into force on 1 January 2010, EU/EEA students as well as other students with a permanent residence permit in Finland, are exempted from paying tuition fees at Finnish public universities and polytechnics. Students from outside the European Union may be charged tuition fees if the study program is conducted in a language other than Finnish or Swedish. However, higher education institutions shall provide a scholarship scheme to support students that fall within the previously mentioned category.
