Tuition fees at Tampere University
Upcoming legislation changes are likely to change the grounds for exemptions on the basis of residence permits in 2024. The information on this page will be updated once the legislation has been passed. Please see the Ministry of Education and Culture website for further information.
The legislation changes may also affect the amounts of tuition fees in 2026. Information on tuition fees in 2026 will be published in spring 2025. The below information on tuition fees is valid for students admitted in 2025. The tuition fees of students admitted in 2025 or earlier will remain unchanged during their studies.
You will not be required to pay the fee if you are:
- an EU/EEA citizen
- equivalent to EU/EEA citizen (i.e. citizen of Switzerland)
- British citizen who has entered Finland before 1 January 2021 and registered the right to residence in Finland in accordance with the withdrawal agreement Article 50
- already reside in Finland (a continuous A residence permit granted on other grounds than studies or a permanent P/P-EU residence permit), or have an EU Blue Card issued in Finland. The exempting residence permit must be valid when you are applying for studies and at least until 1 August i.e. when the study right commences. Please note that a residence permit in another EU/EEA country does not exempt you from the tuition fee.
There are no tuition fees in doctoral programmes.
If you are unsure about whether you are subject to tuition fees, please see Do I have to pay tuition fees? section on the Studyinfo.fi site.
