Doctoral funding

On doctoral level, no tuition fees are charged, but you will need to cover your living expenses. When you apply for doctoral admission , you can ask the Finnish university department for advice on research funding options. The university departments may have paid doctoral research positions available, or doctoral funding schemes of their own. They can usually also best direct you to potential grant-awarding foundations in your field of scientific research.

EDUFI Fellowships

The national EDUFI Fellowship scholarship programme is available for doctoral level studies and research in Finland.

EDUFI Fellowship information on the EDUFI home pages

Note that you can not independently apply for the EDUFI Fellowship - the "applicant" in this scholarship programme is your Finnish university department. So, in order to be eligible for the EDUFI Fellowship, you must first successfully apply for doctoral admission .

If you have questions regarding the EDUFI Fellowship itself, please contact the scholarships admins directly. You can find their contact details on the above EDUFI Fellowship web page.

Note that EDUFI Fellowships are not full degree scholarships but "start-up grants" awarded for a maximum of 12 months. After the EDUFI scholarship period the student/researcher will need to find other sources of funding.

Other funding resources

How to apply to doctoral programmes

3-16 April 2024 (only some doctoral programmes)
15-25 July 2024 (only graduates of University of Helsinki, only some doctoral programmes)
4-17 September 2024 (all doctoral programmes)
6-19 November 2024 (only some doctoral programmes)
8-21 January 2025 (only some doctoral programmes)
2-15 April 2025 (only some doctoral programmes)
21-31 July 2025 (only graduates of University of Helsinki, only some doctoral programmes)

Each admission period opens at 8 AM local Finnish time, and closes at 3 PM local Finnish time.

You must have completed a Finnish second-cycle (master’s) degree or a foreign degree that makes you eligible for doctoral education in the country where the degree was completed.

The University of Helsinki will verify your eligibility for doctoral education from the documents you have submitted .

You have to demonstrate your academic language proficiency in either Finnish, Swedish or English. To ensure you have the time to complete a language test, if necessary, familiarise yourself with the language requirements well in advance of applying.

You can demonstrate your language proficiency in any of the three languages regardless of the language in which you intend to write your doctoral thesis. The language in which you demonstrate your language proficiency will be recorded as the language of your degree.

Visit the doctoral programme websites to read their descriptions, teaching programmes and activities. Once you have found an interesting programme that matches your research topic and background, browse the research profiles of the programme’s supervisors.

If you already have a supervisor, you can also discuss your programme options with them.

Start looking for a supervisor well in advance, that is, months before the application round begins. Many doctoral programmes require that you have one or two supervisors at the time of submitting your application.

Check your programme's possible requirements for supervisors. Also note that some programmes require that you have a coordinating academic and a thesis committee already when applying.

The University of Helsinki’s Research Portal is a good starting point when looking for potential supervisors. The portal’s Research Units section contains faculty-specific lists of principal investigators.

Many research groups also have websites of their own where you can find out more about them.

Many doctoral programmes are multi- or cross-disciplinary, making it possible to pursue degrees awarded by a number of faculties. When applying, you have to state your target degree in your application.

If you fail to submit the documents as instructed and by the deadline, your application will no go to academic evaluation and will be rejected.

You have to submit certified copies of the degree certificate of your second-cycle degree and transcript of studies to the University of Helsinki’s Admission Services.

Please check whether any country-specific special requirements apply to your documents. Special requirements override general requirements.

Also check if your programme has any programme specific enclosures, such as supervisors' supporting statement.

A right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki does not include funding.

You are requested to submit a funding plan as part of your application.

A research proposal is the most important part of your application. Start preparing it in good time and, if possible, discuss it in advance with your planned supervisor(s).

The research proposal is written on the application form in specific fields with a limited number of characters.

A study plan is a preliminary plan of the studies you will complete as part of your degree. The study plan must be drawn up in a way that makes it possible for you to complete the studies in four years of full-time study. Further information on the degree requirements of different doctoral programmes is available in the Studies service .

Submit the required certificates of your previous studies and language proficiency . Admission Services must receive the documents by the application deadline.

Also remember to submit programme-specific attachments, if any.

Apply for a right to study by the end of the application deadline using an electronic application form. The application can be written in Finnish, Swedish or English. Check the programme-specific requirements – some doctoral programmes require an English-language research proposal.

Reserve plenty of time for completing the application. The application cannot be saved as a draft, but you can edit it during the application period. To be able to save the application, there must be at least one character in every mandatory answer field.

After submitting your application in the Studyinfo service, you will receive a confirmation by email. The processing of applications and related decision-making takes a few months.

If your application is in order, we will not contact you before communicating on the admission decision.

If you have read all the instructions, and you still have questions on applying for doctoral studies, please contact admission services: [email protected]

If you want to know more about the different doctoral programmes, the research plan, or supervisors, please contact the programme directly. Contact information can be found on the doctoral programmes’ web sites.

Additional information on doctoral studies

Structure and duration of doctoral studies.

In addition to the doctoral dissertation, the requirements for a doctoral degree include 40 ECTS credits of other studies, which you should plan to support your doctoral research. The structure of the other studies can be found in the curriculum of your doctoral programme.

For full-time doctoral students, the target time of completing the doctoral degree is four years. Part-time students may take longer to complete their degree.

Doctoral dissertation

To earn a doctoral degree, students must complete a dissertation and defend it in a public examination. Students prepare a dissertation to demonstrate their ability to produce original scientific knowledge in the field of their research. Writing the dissertation requires that the student is capable of conducting independent scientific research.

Scholarships

Table of contents.

Please note that the information on this page is for students studying at Aalto University. Information on scholarships and tuition fees for applicants can be found here .

The Aalto University Scholarship Programme seeks to recognize talented non-EU/EEA students across the world by awarding academic excellence. If you are liable to pay tuition fees at Aalto, you can apply for the scholarships.

Most scholarships at Aalto University are offered as tuition fee waivers, such as the Aalto University Scholarship . Students who are awarded this scholarship will have their tuition fees waived fully or in part for the normative period of study, provided that their studies progress according to the approved personal study plan. The Finland Scholarship for master's students also includes a 5 000 € grant. The university also offers Incentive-Based Scholarships .

At the moment, Aalto University does not offer any university-wide scholarships to cover living costs in Finland. Students are expected to cover all their living expenses and other study-related costs from their own financial resources. More information about the living costs is available from the moving to Finland and financial matters page .

Some study options may offer their own scholarships that also cover living expenses either in full or in part. You can find more information on these from the programme-specific pages for studies. You can also check out the 'HAIC Scholarship for Security and Cloud Computing' under other scholarship possibilities .

Scholarships and tax

The university is obliged by law to report all scholarships to Finnish tax authority on annual basis.

Scholarships in Finland are generally tax free up to the value of €25,547.52 per calendar year (in 2023; the exact amount changes annually). The amount exceeding the set limit is generally subject to tax. The set limit includes scholarships paid in Finland by a non-public entity including, but not limited to, any combination of Aalto University's scholarships (including tuition fee waivers), travel grants, one-off payments and living-expense scholarships you may get from the university for your studies.

If your combined scholarships and grants exceed the value of €25,547.52 for a calendar year (in 2023), the exceeding amount is generally subject to tax and you may be contacted by the Finnish tax authority.

For further information, please see the Finnish Tax Administration's pages on taxation of students and trainees and taxation of grants and scholarships .

Aalto University Scholarships

Aalto University Scholarships are offered as tuition fee waivers only. The scholarships are merit-based and are granted on competitive basis. The number of scholarships per degree programme is limited and depends on the overall number of selected non-EU/EEA students per degree programme.

Scope of the scholarship

Aalto University Scholarships are offered as tuition fee waivers. The scholarship covers either 100 % (Category A scholarship) or 50 % (Category B scholarship) of the tuition fee.

Scholarship applications and decisions

If you are a non-EU/EEA citizen liable to tuition fees and apply for admission at Aalto, you can apply for the scholarship with the same application form you use to apply for your preferred study option(s) by ticking the relevant section in the form. Please note that only students who are liable to pay tuition fees at Aalto University are eligible to apply for Aalto University Scholarships. It is not possible to apply for the scholarship after the application period has ended and there are no reserve lists for the allocation of scholarships.

The scholarships are allocated on the basis of the academic evaluation of the applicants when they are selected to the study programmes. The decisions are made by the selection committees of the relevant degree programme. You will receive the decision about the scholarship together with the decision about the admission. Please note that decisions regarding scholarships are final and may not be appealed (as defined in the Finnish Universities Act).

In order for the scholarship to be valid, the scholarship terms and conditions must be accepted by the student by signing and returning the 'Aalto University's Scholarship Terms' document to the university by the given deadline.

Duration of scholarship and personal study plan

Scholarships are granted for the standard duration of the relevant degree programme. The standard duration is three years full-time study for bachelor’s degree and two years full-time study for master’s degree. Scholarship requires full-time study and steady progress in studies according to the approved personal study plan.

New students are requested to draft their first personal study plan when they accept their place for study. Relevant academic support may also be offered depending on the programme. The university requires students to have a study plan, which has been approved according to their degree programme's instructions.

The review of studies monitoring students’ progress is done by the end of March in the spring term and any issues, such as missing credits or possible discontinuation of scholarship, must be resolved by the end of April. This is to enable registration for the following term in the beginning of May, and for students needing to renew their residence permits to get their documentation in order as early as possible. You can also draft a revised study plan if needed and get it approved with the help of Study Office. However, you can only have one approved study plan at a time.

Discontinuation of scholarship

The progress of your studies is checked each term and your scholarship may be discontinued if your studies do not follow your personal study plan. If you have any issues affecting your study progress, it is essential that you contact the Student Services of your degree programme and actively seek help so that your scholarship is not affected. A failure to resolve any pending issues may result in the discontinuation of your scholarship on the basis of insufficient study progress.

As a guideline, scholarships are automatically continued for the standard duration of the degree programme unless:

studies do not follow personal study plan so that graduation is likely to be delayed by more than one term
studies progress so slowly that graduation is likely to be delayed by more than one term
studies progress below 45 ECTS credits per academic year leading to discontinuation of residence permit
the terms and conditions of scholarship agreement are broken
In such cases the school will contact the student and request a meeting where the scholarship is discussed and further course of action agreed.

Please note also, that the Finnish Immigration Authority (Migri) requires students to complete at least 45 ECTS credits per each academic year for the renewal of their residence permit. A failure to comply may result in the discontinuation of your residence permit and subsequent inability to complete your studies and continue your scholarship. Hence it is essential that you contact the Student Services as early as possible should you feel the need to revise your study plan for any reason.

The university is committed to helping students to achieve steady progress throughout their studies and offers many forms of assistance towards this aim.

Finland Scholarship for Master's students

Finland Scholarships awarded by Aalto University are part of the national Finland Scholarship programme funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Finland Scholarship programme runs from 2022 to 2024. Non-EU/EEA applicants who are liable to pay tuition fees can apply for a Finland Scholarship when applying to a master's programme at Aalto University.

The scholarships are merit-based and are granted on a competitive basis according to the academic evaluation criteria of each study option (available on the study option’s website). The best applicants of a specific study option liable to tuition fees may be awarded the scholarship.

Scope of scholarship

The Finland Scholarship includes an Aalto University Scholarship (Category A, 100% tuition fee waiver) for two years and a grant worth 5000 € for relocation and other costs for the first year of studies.

The Aalto University Scholarship is identical to the Category A scholarship described in the Aalto University Scholarships section .

The 5000 € grant is paid to the student’s Finnish bank account after they have arrived in Finland and registered as attending. The grant is paid once and only during the first year of studies.

Non-EU/EEA applicants who are liable to tuition fees at Aalto University can apply for the Finland Scholarship at the same time when applying to a master’s programme, with the same application form. It is not possible to apply for the scholarship after the application period has ended, and there are no reserve lists for the allocation of scholarships. Please note that Aalto bachelor's programme graduates who continue to Aalto master's programmes within the same study right cannot apply for a Finland Scholarship.

The scholarship decision is given at the same time with the admission decision. As defined in the Finnish Universities Act, the scholarship decision cannot be appealed to.

The scholarship terms and conditions must be accepted by the student by signing and returning the 'Aalto University’s Scholarship Terms' document to the university by the given deadline.

Duration of scholarship

The tuition fee waiver (Aalto University Scholarship, Category A) is granted for the standard duration of the degree programme, i.e., two years full-time study for master’s degree. The scholarship requires full-time study and steady progress in studies according to the personal study plan. More information on the duration and the continuation of the tuition fee waiver in the Aalto University Scholarships section .

The 5000 € grant is paid once in a single installment, and only during the first year of studies. The grant will be paid to the student’s Finnish bank account after they have arrived in Finland and registered as attending. The students will be contacted via email during autumn term regarding the payment details.

The grant payment may be made later if the student has difficulties opening a bank account in Finland. However, students who are enrolled as attending and who fail to supply their payment information by the end of the first academic year will lose their Finland Scholarship grant. Students who are absent for reasons permissible by law during the first year, or who are prevented from beginning studies in Finland due to force majeure circumstances, may postpone their Finland Scholarship for a maximum of one year.

The grounds for discontinuing the Aalto University ‘Category A’ tuition fee waiver can be found in the Aalto University Scholarships section .

The Finland Scholarship grant is paid only once. If the student is granted a tuition fee exemption that is valid during their first attendance term, the 5000 € grant will not be paid. If the student is, based on universities act section 10, liable to pay tuition fees during their first term of studies, there is no effect on the Finland Scholarship grant.

Scholarships for Aalto bachelor's programme graduates continuing in Aalto master's programmes

Aalto offers all tuition-fee liable students in Aalto bachelor's programmes (taught in English) a chance to obtain a full scholarship for continuing in the Aalto Master's programme covered by their original 3+2 right to study.

Please note that the scholarship for continuing in the Aalto master's programmes does not cover any Aalto Master's programme that requires a separate application in the Aalto Master's Admissions from the student. If unsure, please contact the student services of your degree programme for further advice.

Tuition-fee liable students who complete their Aalto bachelor's degree in English in normative time (i.e. three years or six terms) with a final grade point average of 3.80 or above, will receive upon application a full, category A scholarship for their Aalto Master's programme.

The scholarship covers 100% of the tuition fees for the normative duration of the master's programme (i.e. two years or four terms). The normative duration in considered to start directly after graduating as bachelor, except when registering as non-attending due to reasons specified in the law.

The scholarship is applied for in Sisu when filling in the bachelor’s degree graduation request. The 'Aalto University's Scholarship Terms' document will be sent in connection with the scholarship decision. In order for the scholarship to be valid, the scholarship terms and conditions must be accepted by the student by signing and returning the 'Aalto University's Scholarship Terms' document to the university by the deadline indicated in the document.

If you haven't applied for the scholarship in Sisu when filling in the bachelor’s degree graduation request, please contact the student services of your degree programme.

The scholarship is granted for the normative duration of the master's programme (ie two years or four terms). The scholarship is to be used for the completion of degree studies only.

The scholarship will be continued for the second academic year provided that you have progressed in your studies according to your approved personal study plan (HOPS) during the first academic year and provided that you have a goal-oriented study plan for the second year.

The progress of your studies is checked each term and your scholarship may be discontinued if your studies do not follow your personal study plan. If you have any issues affecting your study progress, it is essential that you contact the student services of your degree programme and actively seek help so that your scholarship is not affected. A failure to resolve any pending issues may result in the discontinuation of your scholarship on the basis of insufficient study progress.

Aalto Incentive-Based Scholarships

In addition to the tuition fee waivers, Aalto has incentive-based scholarships that reward fee-paying students (i.e. students paying either full or partial fee) who are making good progress in their studies.

Eligibility and how to apply

The Incentive-Based Scholarship can be granted if you have completed 60 ECTS credits (or above) of studies from your approved personal study plan during one academic year. Students in international joint programmes can also apply for the scholarship if they are paying tuition fees to Aalto, and have completed the required 60 ECTS credits while studying at Aalto University during one academic year.

Please note that you cannot include credits which exceed the degree requirements when applying for the scholarship. In addition, thesis credits are taken into account towards the 60 ECTS requirement only after the whole thesis is registered, i.e. partial credits from thesis cannot be counted towards the required credits.

To apply for the Incentive-Based Scholarship, simply follow the information and instructions in the email sent out towards the end of spring term. If you are a fee-paying student and have not received the email by the end of May, or are not sure if you qualify, please contact the student services. The deadline for the scholarship applications is the end of October.

The scholarship is 1 500 € and it is paid towards the end of autumn term (or upon graduation, where applicable). The first round of scholarship decisions will be made by the end of September for applications returned in the summer months. Thereafter, the scholarship decisions are made once a month. You will receive the scholarship decision to your email.

The Incentive-Based Scholarship can be granted more than once.

Scholarship for one additional term following the standard period of study (5th or 7th term scholarship)

In order to successfully complete your studies and apply for graduation, you may be awarded a scholarship for one additional term beyond the standard duration of the degree programme (i.e. one term in addition to the three years of a Bachelor’s programme, and one term in addition to the two years of a Master’s programme).

You can apply for the scholarship on the condition that your studies have progressed in accordance with the approved study plan and that you have a realistic, approved plan to complete the remainder of the programme.

You can normally apply for the scholarship between April and May, but applications may be considered at other times if the circumstances demand it.

Please note that the additional term is likely to impact on your residence permit, student accommodation and financial arrangements, so it is highly recommendable that you start planning as early as possible and use the help of student services in the process.

Scope of the scholarship and requirements

The scholarship for one additional term is offered as a 100% tuition fee waiver.

The scholarship has a strict requirement that you submit your Bachelor's or Master's thesis (as applicable) by the agreed deadline, successfully complete the programme, and apply for graduation within the additional term.

Please note that the scholarship can be used only for completing the remaining compulsory studies in your programme. This means that you cannot apply for the additional term scholarship to e.g. complete studies outside your degree or go on exchange, unless an exchange period is a compulsory part of your studies.

If your programme includes a compulsory exchange period and you apply for the scholarship for one additional term to go on one, bear in mind that the scholarship terms require you to complete your studies and apply for graduation within the additional term. For example, course registrations after an exchange period might take some time, so it is good to take this into account when planning your studies.

Aalto Reserve Scholarships

Aalto Reserve Scholarships are aimed for students who become liable to pay tuition fees in the middle of their studies. The scholarship is offered as a 100 % tuition fee waiver.

You can apply for this scholarship if your residence permit status changes in the middle of your studies so that you are no longer exempted from tuition fees. You can also apply for a Reserve Scholarship if you are a non-EU/non-EEA student who continues their studies from a Finnish-medium bachelor's programme to an English-medium master's programme.

Scholarship eligibility

In order to be eligibile for the Reserve Scholarship, you need to prove that

you have been exempted from the payment of tuition fees on the basis of your previous residence permit, but you will be liable to tuition fees based on your new permit type, OR
you have completed your bachelor's programme in Finnish and will become liable to tuition fees when continuing your studies in an English-medium master's programme within the same study right.

Please note that you must have a residence permit which does not exempt from tuition fees in order to be granted the Reserve Scholarship. More information on exemptions from tuition fees .

The scholarship decision can be made conditionally if your residence permit application is still pending. The same applies if you are still completing studies for the on-going academic year and do not yet meet the criteria regarding the study progress. In this case, the study progress will be checked latest by the end of the academic year (31 July), by which all the required credits have to be registered in the student register.

If your decision is conditional, you cannot register as attending before all conditionalities have been met.

Criteria for students whose residence permit status changes in the middle of studies

If your residence permit status changes so that you will become liable to pay tuition fees in the middle of your studies, you can apply for a Reserve Scholarship.

Students studying in English-medium bachelor's programmes

You will be granted the scholarship, if you meet at least one of the following criteria:

Bachelor's programmes completed in Finnish have no tuition fees. However, if you continue your studies within the same 3+2 study right to a master's programme taught in English, you will become liable to pay tuition fees for your master's studies.

In this case, you can apply for a Reserve Scholarship for your master's studies. You will be granted the scholarship, if you meet the following criteria:

you have completed your bachelor's degree in normative time (i.e. three years), AND
you have a final grade point average of 3.80 or above from your bachelor's degree.

If you have started your studies before 1 August 2023, transition policies are applied in your case. Please contact [email protected] for more details.

You can apply for a Reserve Scholarship throughout the year, as there are no set application times. If you are eligible and meet the criteria, you are granted the scholarship. Please note that it is compulsory to apply for the scholarship in order to receive it.

If you want to apply for the Reserve Scholarship, please send a message to [email protected] to request the application form.

The scholarship application will be processed at your school, and you will receive the decision to your email. You can accept the offered scholarship by signing and returning the 'Aalto University's Scholarship Terms' document by the given deadline.

As defined in the Finnish Universities Act, the scholarship decision cannot be appealed to.

The Reserve Scholarship will be valid earliest starting from the term

after the validity of your exemption based on your previous residence permit ends, OR
when you become liable to pay tuition fees.

If your scholarship decision has been conditional, the scholarship validity will start only after all the criteria have been met. For the scholarship to be valid, you have to meet the conditionalities, i.e. by providing the student services a copy of your new residence permit or meeting the criteria regarding the study progress (credits and grade point average). Please note that you cannot register as attending before all conditionalities have been met.

The scholarship is granted as a 100 % tuition fee waiver for the remainder of the programme’s normative duration. If the scholarship is granted for more than one academic year, the review of study progress is the same as for Aalto University Scholarships .

Please note that if you apply for the Reserve Scholarship during your bachelor's studies, the scholarship will be only granted for the bachelor's degree. In this case, you can later apply for a scholarship for your master's studies when you graduate from your bachelor's programme.

Aalto University's scholarships in international double degree programmes

International joint programmes that have their own tuition fees and (externally funded) scholarship systems follow their specific regulations. In programmes where students are liable to pay the tuition fee directly to Aalto University, students are eligible to apply for Aalto University's scholarships. However, this only applies to the terms the student is studying at Aalto and is liable to pay tuition fee directly to Aalto University. Please read more from programmes' web pages .
