No tuition fee - no scholarships The AMP has no scholarship programme of its own, but as we collect no tuition fee either, the studies can be regarded amply subsidised. Students are responsible for organizing the necessary funds to finance their studies themselves.
Compulsory student union fee The membership fee for the Student Union is compulsory for all students aiming at Master’s degree. The compulsory membership fee entitles students, for example, to use the services of the Student Student Health Centre (YTHS).
Living costs International students must be able to pay for their food, lodgings, clothes, study material, social life, etc. The most convenient option for students is to stay in a student rent apartment. The University of Jyväskylä International Office will help accepted students to find accommodation. Note also the financial residence permit requirements.
