LIVING AND STUDY EXPENSES IN FINLAND.
Average monthly living costs for students are estimated to be about 700 euros. There will be some initial expenses, such as the housing deposit and the Student Union membership fee. International students are entitled to the financial aid for students only in very limited cases.

The costs of living depend on consumer habits and can be reduced, for example, by utilising sales and special offers. One can find low-priced clothes, furniture etc. at flea markets and charity shops and many exam books can be borrowed at libraries.

No term fees are charged, but students must be prepared to pay for accommodation, food, travel, study materials, insurances, health care and other costs of living.

4) Working Permission

Students can work within certain limits on a residence permit granted for studying

If the work is practical training included in the degree or if the amount of part-time work does not exceed 20 hours a week. There are no limits in terms of hours on full-time work during holidays (the periods 1 May–30 September and 15 December–15 January). You must obtain a residence permit for an employed person if you intend to work more than 20 hours in a week during the academic term. The permit is subject to a charge and the application should be submitted to the local police in Finland.
