Candidates are responsible for securing a study placement with a Finnish institution of higher education.

Finding a Suitable Master's Program

Please use the search engine for Master's degree programs in Finland to find suitable programs for you.

University Admission 

  • Fulbright candidates apply independently for admission to the Finnish university.
  • Find the university's application procedures and deadlines on the university's website, or contact the program coordinator or the university's international office directly.

Do I need a Letter of Affiliation?

  • You do not need a university affiliation letter for the Fulbirght application. You will receive an admission letter from the university once accepted into a master's program.
  • Typically, the university application schedules in Finland are such that you would not have your university admission letter at the time of the Fulbright application deadline. Explain this situation and the university application schedule clearly in your Fulbright application (for example, in the study plan section) and submit the university application as soon as the university application period opens.
  • If, however, you already have a university admission letter by the Fulbright application deadline, you should attach it to your Fulbright application. 

You do not need a letter of affiliation from the university you are applying to.
