Scholarships and fees

Applicants can apply for the available scholarships when they apply to the CoDaS programme. All applicants who have applied for the scholarships are considered for them. The competitive allocation of scholarships is based on application evaluation criteria. As defined in the Finnish Universities Act, the scholarship decision cannot be appealed to.

Erasmus Mundus scholarship

Erasmus Mundus scholarship covers the Programme fee (8000 EUR/academic year) for the normative duration of studies (two academic years). In addition, the Erasmus Mundus scholarship holder receives 1400€/month for the subsistence costs for the duration of the programme, max. 24 months.

Students who have previously received an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) scholarship cannot apply for an additional scholarship through the EMJM programme. Similarly, throughout the entire duration of their master's course, students already funded by an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) are ineligible for further European Union scholarships.

During the EMJM action implementation (admissions 2024-2027), no more than 10% of the total number of scholarships are awarded to students from the same nationality.

CoDaS scholarship

CoDaS scholarship is a programme fee waiver, i.e., the scholarship covers the Programme fee (8000 EUR/academic year) for the normative duration of studies (two academic years).

Contribution to individual needs of students with disabilities

Enrolled students (with or without scholarship) with disabilities (e.g. long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments), may have contribution to costs related to the acquisition of special items or services (e.g. assistance by third persons, adaptation of work environment, additional travel/transportation costs).

The support to cover such individual needs of enrolled students, will take the form of the following special needs unit costs:

Enrolled students will declare what type of items/services are needed and their cost. The applicable unit cost will be identified as the rate corresponding to or immediately lower than the estimated expenses. This unit cost is a contribution, and is not intended to fully cover the actual costs.
