How to apply to Bachelor’s and Master’s
Bachelor's programmes
You can apply to our Bachelor's programmes in the national joint application to higher education, which means that you can apply to up to six degree programmes in one or several higher education institutions in Finland with one application form.
Master's programmes
Universities of applied sciences offer mid-career Master's. This means that to be eligible for Master’s degree studies, you must have completed a suitable higher education degree and have at least two years (24 months) of relevant work experience after completing the degree.

Tuition fees and scholarships
Tuition fees apply to non-EU/EEA citizens studying in Bachelor's or Master's degree programmes offered in English at TAMK. TAMK offers scholarship waiver options for all students who are subject to tuition fees.
Financing your stay
Planning a budget for your studies is important as all the students at TAMK must fund their studies and living expenses themselves. Check also the Study & Stay programme, which supports international students to study, live and work - or start a business- in the Tampere Area.
