After transfer, a transfer student may enroll for non-attendance for the first academic year only in the case of illness that prevents you from starting your studies, pregnancy/parenting leave, or military service.

The tuition fee and scholarship
Transfer student needs to pay the tuition fee if the student is NON-EU/EEA citizen. The tuition fee is 8 000 €/year for the Bachelor’s degree programmes and 9000€/year for Master’s degree programmes. The rules regarding the tuition fees and scholarships at JAMK: In the first academic year the scholarship covers 50% of the tuition fee. In the following academic years the scholarship covers 50% of the tuition fee if a student earns at least 60 credits (bachelor’s degrees) or 30 credits (Master’s degrees) per academic year.
Notice: When a transfer student starts at JAMK, the student’s study time is counted from the beginning of the studies at the present university. So, if you have already studied a year before transferring to JAMK you are not considered to be a first year student. This means that you need to have 60 credits (bachelor’s degrees) or 30 credits (Master’s degrees) when you arrive to JAMK in order to get the scholarship.
