International Study Programmes Database

The International Study Programmes Database maintained by CIMO, provides information about almost 450 international study programmes offered by Finnish universities and polytechnics. In almost all of the programmes the language of instruction is English.

Some of the programmes are short courses which usually can only be taken as part of an exchange programme (Non-degree Programmes) - other, broader-based programmes take several years to complete and lead to an official Finnish higher education degree (Degree Programmes). The credits shown are ECTS credits.
