Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) International Scholarship

Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) is one of Finland's largest universities of applied sciences, in the city of Tampere, delivering practical, English-taught Bachelor's degrees in business, engineering, IT, health care, and media. Non-EU students pay tuition, but TAMK offers scholarships that reduce or waive it — usually granted at entry on merit and continued in later years if you earn enough credits. For Sri Lankan students, TAMK pairs an applied, employment-oriented degree with the quality of life of a safe Nordic country, taught in English, in a lively university city. Programmes emphasise real projects, internships, and industry contact. Scholarship structures, the precise reduction, and the credit conditions change between intakes, so confirm the current award, eligibility, accreditation, and deadlines with TAMK before applying.
