Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main intake dates for Finland?

Finland has two main intakes: Autumn (August/September) – the primary intake with most programs, and Spring (January) – a smaller intake for selected Master’s programs. Applications for Autumn close in January, so you must start the process with SBS by October.

For Bachelor’s programs, the typical requirement is IELTS 6.0. For Master’s programs, IELTS 6.5 is standard. TOEFL and PTE are also widely accepted. Always check your specific university page, as some technical fields may require a 7.0.

Yes, if you have completed your previous degree (A-Level or Bachelor’s) entirely in English. You can request a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate from your previous institution. However, most top Finnish universities prefer an IELTS score for scholarship consideration.

You need EUR 9,600 (approximately PKR 2.8 million) as proof of liquid funds for one academic year. This money must be in a savings account for at least 28 days. Unlike the UK, Finland allows you to show this in a Pakistani bank account or a blocked account in Finland.

The current processing time for a Finnish Residence Permit (student visa) is 4 to 8 weeks for Pakistani applicants applying online via “Enter Finland.” It is recommended to apply as soon as you get the admission letter to avoid delays.

Yes. You are allowed to work up to 30 hours per week during the academic terms (unlimited during holidays like Christmas and summer). Finland focuses on “sufficient funds” for study, so you cannot rely solely on part-time wages to cover your full tuition.

While Finland is straightforward, the “Devil is in the details.” SBS Karachi specializes in the specific bank statement formatting, motivation letter tailoring, and interview prep required by Migri. We ensure your application avoids common rejections related to insufficient justification of study choice or financial gaps.
