Through its national higher education admissions system, Studyinfo (Opintopolku), the Finnish government has formally begun the Spring 2026 First Joint Application Round. Over 400 English-taught bachelor’s and master’s degree programs provided by Finland’s highly regarded universities and universities of applied sciences (UAS) are open to international students of all countries during this main admission cycle. Opportunities for students with a variety of academic interests are ensured by the programs’ broad coverage of academic fields, which include engineering, ICT, business, social sciences, environmental studies, education, healthcare, design, and more.
The goal of this simultaneous application round is to streamline the admissions process. Students can apply simultaneously to several universities and degree programs using a single, centralized application form, eliminating the need to submit separate applications for each university.All of the programs chosen in this round will start in the fall of 2026, giving candidates plenty of time to get ready for housing, relocation, residency permits, and other practical arrangements.
In order to assist applicants in making well-informed choices, Studyinfo also offers thorough assistance on eligibility requirements, tuition costs, scholarship alternatives, and entrance exams.
