It is important that you as a student have sufficient funding for the entire study time. If not, you may have difficulties in completing your studies, and if you are a foreign student may even have to leave the country if your residence permit is not renewed.
Tuition fees
There are no tuition fees at Arcada. There are also no scholarships available. Necessary books and study material is paid by the student. The annual membership fee of the Student Union of ca 38 euros entitles to several student discounts.
Cost of living in Finland
The average cost of living in Finland is high and comparable to that of the rest of Europe. The minimum living expenses for a single student amounts to about 700-1000 euros / month depending on cost of accommodation as well as for example health care expenses. As a student you need to make sure that you have got sufficient funding to cover all basic expenses such as food, rent, transportation, study materials, insurance, health care and any other unexpected expenses, which may occur during your time in Finland.
Student financial aid
A Finnish student is granted student financial aid if the studies are considered as full-time studies, i.e. they comprise at least 5 credit units per month. A foreign student must have lived in Finland for at least two years for some other purpose than studies, and be considered a permanent resident in Finland to apply for student financial aid.
