Important Announcement for International Applicants

We have become aware of fake websites claiming to offer applications for Vamia’s educational programs. These websites are not affiliated with Vamia in any way. It is only possible to apply to Vamia’s international programs through the website www.studyinfo.fi. We will always provide a link to the correct application page before the application period begins.

Vamia would like to emphasize that we never send invoices to our applicants. Applying for a study place and confirming your admission is always free of charge. The only payments you may encounter before your studies begin are related to various official processes, such as obtaining a study permit (Migri).

FAQ
