A graduate applicant is a person who already has the first degree, normally a Bachelors degree or equivalent, from a higher education institution. As a rule, the Bachelors degree is the lower academic degree and it takes three to four years of full-time studies to complete.Some programmes may accept students with a Bachelor's degree from a polytechnic in Finland. The Bachelor's degree programme has to be strongly related to the programme the student applies for. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree from a polytechnic institution should always first contact the Admissions Services.Also those students who are in their last term/semester of their Bachelor's studies can apply.

The University of Helsinki is giving about 50 start-up grants to qualified degree students who are accepted to study in an International Master's Degree Programme. The amount of each grant will be 1000-1500 euro. The grants are not meant to cover living expenses, but we hope that the little extra money helps our new students to settle in Helsinki.

The International Student Grant is available for degree students who are admitted in 2014 into the programmes below:
