Read moreSouth-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences, Xamk, is one of the biggest universities of applied sciences in Finland. We offer degree studies in English and Finnish as well as studies that do not result in graduation. We also offer language studies and higher education preparatory studies for immigrants.
Finland has two types of higher education institutions: universities and universities of applied sciences (UAS).
Universities of applied sciences (UAS for short) offer professionally oriented higher education on bachelor’s and master’s level, and have strong ties with working life and regional development.
Universities focus on scientific research and the education they provide is based on it. They offer bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral (PhD) level studies.

In response to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine, Xamk offers several study possibilities for Ukrainians:
The studies mentioned above are for Ukrainians who have fled the war in their home country and arrived in Finland. The Ukrainians living in Finland who have arrived in the country before the war, are also entitled to this opportunity.
Read more about the study possibilities by clicking the links above. Both bachelor and master studies are taught in English.
The separate study right is available in certain degree programmes for Ukrainians who already have a study place in a University / Academy / Higher Educational Institution in Ukraine. This study opportunity is aimed at students who have an existing, valid right to study at a Ukrainian university, and whose studies have been discontinued due to the war.
Studies in the separate study right are free of charge for the student. The studies will start in August 2022.
The separate study rights are granted based on the compatibility of applicants’ earlier studies with those offered by Xamk UAS and English language skills. You must satisfy specific academic and language requirements.
