About this scholarship
Tampere charges non-EU/EEA students €10,000 a year for bachelor's programmes and €12,000 for master's from 2026, and its scholarship halves that for selected applicants for the full length of the degree.
The early-bird reduction is separate and mechanical: accept the offer and pay within the stated window and the first year drops by €2,000, whether or not you also hold the scholarship.

Is the university placement service really free?
Yes, our service is 100% free. Counselling, university matching, application support and guidance right up to your offer cost you nothing. There are no consultation fees and no agent fees, because we are funded by our university partners. The only cost you take on is the university’s own tuition or semester fees, which you pay directly to the university after you accept your offer.
What exactly do you help with?
Everything from start to finish: understanding your options, shortlisting the right programme, preparing your application and personal statement, submitting to the university, and guiding you through the offer, enrolment and visa paperwork, all with a dedicated counsellor.
Which universities can you place me into?
We place students into a range of UK and international universities, and we shortlist the best-fit options for your grades, budget and goals rather than pushing a single school. On some pages we run dedicated free placement drives for a specific partner university, and we are always adding more partners. Tell us your goals and your counsellor will map out your options.
