Studyinfopalvelusta

Studyinfopalvelusta refers to the Finnish national study information service commonly known as Studyinfo. Operated by the Finnish National Agency for Education, it functions as the official online portal for information about higher education opportunities and the admissions process in Finland. The service brings together study offerings from universities and universities of applied sciences and serves as a centralized channel for applications to degree programs.

The portal provides a searchable catalog of programs at bachelor’s, master’s, licentiate, and doctoral levels, including fields of study, degree level, language of instruction, campus location, and basic admission requirements. It also covers open university courses and other continuing education options. In addition to program details, Studyinfo presents practical information on admission schedules, required documents, language prerequisites, and contact points for each higher education institution.

For applicants, Studyinfo typically supports a joint application process. In Finland, many degree programs use one application period that covers multiple institutions, with separate rounds for autumn and spring starts. The site guides users through the steps of searching for programs, preparing applications, submitting through the joint system, and checking admission results. It also links to guidance on visa and residence permit procedures for non-EU/EEA students, often directing users to official authorities for immigration matters.

The service is available in Finnish, Swedish, and English, and data published on Studyinfo is used by students, higher education institutions, and national statistics bodies. It provides a centralized, publicly accessible source of information to compare programs and plan study opportunities. See also Opetushallitus and Studyinfo.fi.
