Finland offers many degree programs in English, requiring no Finnish proficiency for admission. However, some programs, particularly at the bachelor’s level or those focused on Finnish culture, may require Finnish language skills. Universities often list specific requirements on their websites.
For daily life, learning basic Finnish is beneficial but not mandatory, as English is widely spoken. Non-EU/EEA students studying in Finnish must demonstrate proficiency, typically through the YKI test. EU/EEA students face no such requirement. Language courses are often available at universities to help international students adapt.
