Finland as a study destination
Finland is a booming country that is consistently ranked among the top ten in the world in terms of the standard of living, economic stability, and education. It is a country of innovation and technology and has continuously topped related global indices. Finnish companies value innovation designed to solve problems in a pragmatic and surprising way.
On the global scale, Finland is a small country. Finland's population of 5 million makes up barely 0.07 per cent of the world's population, and its land area accounts for as much of the world's total area. However, even a small country can rise to the top, and this is what Finland has done: in international comparisons, Finland is often among the leading nations.
Finland is:
- the happiest country for the eighth year in a row;
- is one of the world's top 10 most innovative and technologically advanced countries;
- has one of the highest proportions of renewable energy consumption in the EU;
- is one of the world's least corrupt countries;
- is one of the safest countries in the world.
How much does it cost to live in Finland?
Finland is known for its high standard of living, and consequently, the local price level reflects that quality. However, the cost of living in Finland is about the same as in other EU countries. Expenses vary depending on the accommodation you choose and your personal spending habits.
In LUT’s campus cities, living expenses including accommodation in a student apartment may amount to roughly EUR 700–800 a month.
As a degree student in Finland, you will receive a student card that entitles you to student discounts on meals and other services.
