International Student Advice

Genom att välja utbildningsprogram ser du förutom de allmänna anvisningarna också utbildningsprogrammets eventuella egna innehåll. För att se Öppna universitetets instruktioner behöver du inte välja utbildningsprogram.

International Student Advice is the first point of contact for all international degree students at the University of Helsinki, especially in cases where you do not know whom to contact.

Who is the service for?

International Student Advice is a service designed to support our international degree students on their academic journey in Finland. As a degree student, you are warmly welcome to also use all other student advice services at the University.

Please note that we advice only current degree students of the University of Helsinki:

What do we do?

We provide advice on matters such as:

  • tuition fees and scholarships
  • registering with authorities
  • healthcare
  • other topics related to living and studying in Finland.

We can also help you find the right contact person as needed. 

The service is operated by student advisors who are all international students themselves and have been trained for this role and thus possess the personal experience and professional capacity to help other international students. The service operates in a completely confidential manner concerning students’ personal matters. 

The purpose of the service is to provide a place where all international students can be heard and seen. Write to us at our email address or come say hi at our service desk, and we will be happy to help!
