Study time and graduation within the statutory study time

According to the Universities of Applied Sciences Act 30 § (932/2014) full-time students have the right to complete the studies leading to a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a university of applied sciences in a time period of at most one year exceeding the normative duration of the studies.

It is important that you make sure that you have completed all the studies required for the degree in your study plan, and that you are able to complete all your studies within the statutory study time. If you have any questions concerning your studies or you need guidance, please contact your Guidance Counsellor.

NB Kela (The Social Insurance Institution of Finland) usually grants financial aid for students at the beginning of the studies only for the statutory study time. If you need financial aid after this, you need to apply for it separately. You can also get financial aid for the summer time. More information from Kela web pages >>
