University of Helsinki: your questions, answered
What courses can I study at University of Helsinki?
We currently list 7 programmes at University of Helsinki across Data Science & AI, Economics, Education, Life & Biomedical Sciences, Social Sciences. Levels available are Postgraduate. Your counsellor can also request programmes not listed here.
When are the intakes at University of Helsinki?
Current intakes are September 2026. Applying 6 to 12 months ahead gives the widest choice of places and scholarships. Your counsellor confirms exact deadlines for your chosen course.
What does the placement service cost?
A flat SGD 50, billed as two monthly instalments of SGD 25. That covers everything: counselling, university matching, application support and guidance right up to your offer. There are no hidden extras, no agent fees and no commission on your tuition, because our counselling is funded by our university partners, the SGD 50 only covers administration. Separately, you pay the university’s own tuition or semester fees 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 SGD 50 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.
Do I need my final results before I apply?
No. We work from predicted grades, so you can start the process well before results day and secure a conditional offer. Once your final grades are in, we help you confirm your place.
