Xamk Tuition Fee Scholarships

Xamk runs one of the most clearly documented tuition discount systems among Finland's universities of applied sciences, which makes it easy to model your real cost before you commit. The headline fees are EUR 10,700 a year for Bachelor's degrees and EUR 13,500 for Master's, payable by non-EU/EEA students on English-taught programmes. From there, several discounts stack up. An Early Bird discount of 10% applies if you accept your place within 7 days and pay within 21 days of admission — worth roughly EUR 1,070 on a Bachelor's, or about LKR 369,000. From the second year, a Study Progress discount of EUR 2,500 is granted to Bachelor's students who complete 55 ECTS credits, hold a grade average of 3.0 or above and maintain 75% attendance. On top of that, the Xamk Award gives students who already qualify for the progress discount a further EUR 300, EUR 600 or EUR 900 depending on points earned through community activities, where 10 hours of activity equals 1 point. Xamk also pays generously for learning Finnish: EUR 500 per 5 ECTS of Finnish studies up to EUR 1,000 a year, plus EUR 3,000 paid directly to you on graduating at B1 level. Master's students get a EUR 3,000 graduation award for finishing within the regular study time with a grade average of 3.5 or above, and the same EUR 3,000 Finnish language award at B1 verified by an official YKI or VKT test. What none of this covers is living costs, the Finnish residence permit, insurance or flights. Budget around EUR 700-900 a month for Mikkeli, Kotka, Kouvola or Savonlinna — cheaper than Helsinki, but you must still show funds to Migri for the permit.

Applications for autumn intakes run through Finland's joint application system (Studyinfo) in January, with a separate round often in August-September. Early Bird conditions are triggered by your admission letter — confirm current fees and discount terms on xamk.fi
