Study in Helsinki, Finland

Kickstart your summer in Finland's dynamic capital city. Helsinki offers a unique blend of technology, innovation, beautiful nature, and lively culture. Throughout the program, students participate in cultural activities designed to help them connect with each other, learn local traditions, and get the most out of your Finnish summer experience. 

Cultural activities include a local sauna experience, afternoon in the Unesco World Heritage Site: sea fortress Suomenlinna, and Helsinki Amazing Race program.

Accommodation

The Helsinki region offers a wide selection of accommodation options suitable for different preferences and budgets. The prices for a 2-week stay, can vary all the way from €450–€1000 depending on your preferences. We highly recommend you book your accommodation as early as possible, this way you can save roughly €100–€150 on your accommodation price. 

We recommend students to book their stay from one of these two-options:

Airbnb:

Airbnb is one of the most reliable options for finding your accommodation also in Helsinki. If you book early, during Fall 2026, you can find a room for €500-€700. The longer you wait the more the price of the rooms goes up. See Airbnb options.

Antti Korpi Student House:

In Antti Korpi Student House, you can find affordable single rooms, for only €595/month. They will have to charge you for the whole month, but Antti Korpi is still often cheaper than many other accommodation options. Antti Korpi Student House is located only 20-25 minutes away from Haaga-Helia's Pasila campus, and 30 minutes from the Helsinki center, with great public transit connections via bus and train.
