For Applicants from Finland and EU countries
Please note that if you are a non-EU citizen you will need a residence permit for the full duration of your studies. Please read more here.
If you have Finnish or EU/EEA citizenship, or if you already have a residence permit in Finland for other reasons such as family ties for the full duration of your studies, you have come to the right page. HELBUS is a private business school in Helsinki that offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in business and management in partnership with the University of Northampton in the UK.
Read more about the undergraduate programme here. If you already have an undergraduate degree find out more about our MBA here. All our programmes are delivered fully in English.
Please read more about entry requirements and how to apply to the various programmes. Applying for a study place at HELBUS is relatively easy, and the process differs from state universities in Finland. There is no entrance exam, and you can apply online throughout the year for several intakes.
Application checklist for Finnish/EU citizens and those NOT requiring a student residence permit:
- Read carefully the application instructions and start filling in your application here. Here are the application deadlines.
- After your application has been reviewed, there may be a phone interview, if needed. If you have fulfilled all entry requirements, we will send you by email an unconditional acceptance certificate. If you are still waiting for results, e.g. your high school diploma, you can receive a conditional acceptance certificate, which will automatically be made unconditional after you fulfil the stated conditions. You will then be able to decide whether you accept the study place offer. To help you decide, our admissions staff will send you further information about your study programme in the New Student Letter.
- Unlike Government-supported state universities, HELBUS is a private business school operating on tuition fee revenue. All students pay tuition fees. Please check the fees for the Bachelor’s programme here and MBA programme here.
- You will also be sent a student agreement for electronic signing, before starting your study programme in the fascinating world of business and management.
