Paying the tuition fee
The University of Turku charges tuition fees from all non EU/EEA citizens. The amount of the tuition fee depends on your programme, the exact amount is mentioned in the admission offer (more on scholarships and tuition fees here).
The tuition fee is paid using the Flywire service portal. Flywire is an easy-to-use payment solution that provides international students with a streamlined payment experience, saving time and money.
If you have any questions regarding the tuition fee or how to pay, it please contact the Admission Services at admissions@utu.fi.
We recommend you pay your tuition fee only after you have accepted your study offer and know you will be able to start your studies at the University of Turku. The final date of payment for the tuition fee is 31 July.
You must pay the full tuition fee before you may register to the university as an attending student. For registration information please see this website.
- The Early Bird discounted tuition fee must be paid in one instalment.
- If you pay the full tuition fee you can pay it in two instalments. The instalments are one semester each (half of the full sum of the tuition fee). You must pay both instalments by 31 July and you may not register as attending before both instalments are paid.
You should not pay the tuition fee before you are sure you are able to start your studies in time in the autumn:
- If you pay the tuition fee and register as attending with the University, your tuition fee will not be refunded to you, if the end of the registration period (31 August) has passed.
- If you have paid the tuition fee, but have not registered as attending, the tuition fee can be refunded to you until 30 September.
- Full refund details on the page linked below.
The paid tuition fee can only be refunded if certain conditions are met and the refund request is made within the specified deadlines. For more information please see this website.
Pay the tuition fee on the Flywire service portal.
Continuing students may pay the tuition fee in one or two instalments per academic year, for one semester or two semesters at a time, but you must pay at least the fee for one semester before you register. You may only register as attending for the semester(s) for which you have paid the tuition fee. If you pay the tuiton fee for one semester only you should register as non-attending for the other semester of the academic year.
If you have received a scholarship from the University of Turku that does not cover the full tuition fee the rest of the tuition fee must be paid before you can register as attending.

- full academic year or autumn semester 31 July
- spring semester 31 December
