Lead paragraph

Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences will charge a tuition fee from a student accepted to a degree programme taught in English. EU/EEA area and Swiss citizens are not subject to the charge. The tuition fee includes teaching and access to the learning facilities and the student Library. As a student at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences you have access to Student Services and ICT services will also be at your disposal to support your studies.

The tuition fees from 1 January 2022 are:

  • EUR 9,500.00 per academic year for Bachelor's degree programmes, and
  • EUR 10,500.00 per academic year for Master's degree programmes

The updated fees will apply to new degree students starting their studies from 1 January 2022 onwards.

Students who start their studies on 1 August 2024 onwards, need to pay the tuition fee for the first two semesters in one instalment. 

Tuition fees are always paid in full, and scholarships are paid separately.

Application Fees:

Application fees apply to admissions starting on or after January 1, 2025, for programs beginning on or after August 1, 2025. The amount of the fee will be determined by a separate regulation. The application fee is charged per semester, not per application. The same documents exempt applicants from both tuition fees and application fees. Tuition fees apply only to programs taught in foreign languages, while application fees apply to programs in all languages. Further information about application fees will be updated soon.

Please notice, that European Joint Master of Business Administration, AI for Business Transformation programme has an exception to Tuition Fees and other costs. Read the information below.

Please note that housing costs, meal plans or health insurance are not included in the tuition fee. So, make sure you have enough financial means to pay your rent, personal expenses, transportation costs, meals, insurance etc.

Finnish immigration service requires that you have at least EUR 800 at your disposal every month to be able to pay for your accommodation, food and other needs. So, in addition to the tuition fee, you must have EUR 9,600 to be able to study in Finland for a year and to get a residence permit in Finland. More information about the income requirement for students is available on the Finnish immigration service's website.

Haaga-Helia UAS uses Flywire service for all tuition fee payments. We will send payment instructions together with Flywire payment link to all students who are required to pay tuition fees.

According to the Universities of Applied Sciences Act, a student may enrol as absent for the first academic year only due to legal reasons (Act 932/2014):

  1. Military service according to the Conscription Act (1438/2007), Non-Military Service Act (1446/2007), or Women's Voluntary Military Service Act (194/1995) in Finland
  2. The student needs time off their studies to take care of a child in regard to the child’s birth or adoption (14.1.2022/52)
  3. An illness or injury, which prevents you from beginning the studies (affects your right to be absent later)

Please note that deferring the study place for any other reasons is not possible.
