Pakistani students now have a strong opportunity to pursue higher education at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) with generous tuition support on selected Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes. Here’s what you need to know.
What Scholarships Offer
| Scholarship Type | Coverage |
|---|---|
| UEF Scholarship | 100% tuition waiver for one student per programme. |
| Tuition Fee Waiver | Up to 50% waiver on tuition fee for selected accepted students. |
| Finnish Language Waiver | Additional waiver for enrolled students achieving Finnish proficiency. |
These waivers apply to students from countries like Pakistan (outside the EU/EEA) and are part of UEF’s efforts to attract talented international applicants.
UEF is offering programs like Accounting and Finance, Digital Marketing and Analytics, International Business and Sales Management, Sustainability Leadership, European Forestry (Erasmus Mundus), English Language and Culture, Linguistic Data Sciences, and many more.
Who Can Apply & What You Need
- Eligibility: Applicants must be non-EU/EEA citizens, apply for full-time English-taught Bachelor’s or Master’s programmes, and meet academic and language standards.
- Tuition Fee: If not receiving a waiver, the tuition fee for non-EU/EEA students is €10,000 per academic year.
- Application Process:
- Visit the official website: https://www.uef.fi/en/admissions
- Submit academic transcripts, proof of English proficiency, and other required documents online.
- Indicate in your application that you wish to be considered for a tuition waiver or scholarship (no separate form required for many programmes).
- If accepted, you’ll receive your admission letter, which will detail any waiver award. Finalise any outstanding documents and prepare for your move to Finland.
Important Deadlines
- Applications typically open in January for programmes starting in autumn.
- Tuition fee payment deadline for non-waived students is usually 31 August.
- Scholarships are awarded along with admission decisions; early application strengthens chances.
For Pakistani students, this is a valuable chance to access European higher education at a significantly reduced cost. UEF’s scholarship programme not only lowers tuition barriers but also promotes academic excellence and global engagement. While living expenses and travel are not covered, the tuition relief alone offers a major boost in affordability.
