Why Study in Finland?
Finland charges non-EU students €5,000–€13,000 a year for a bachelor's and €8,000–€18,000 for a master's — but only for programmes taught in English. Degrees taught in Finnish or Swedish, and all doctoral study, remain tuition-free regardless of nationality. That exemption is real and widely overlooked.

The Language Exemption Is Worth Knowing About
Finland's tuition applies to English-taught programmes only. Degrees delivered in Finnish or Swedish, and doctoral study in any language, are free for all nationalities including Indian students. For a research-track student, that turns Finland into one of the cheapest advanced-study destinations in Europe.
Residence Permit Funds
You must show at least €800 a month — €9,600 in your account when applying for studies of a year or more — on top of tuition, unless the tuition is already paid.
