Education Agents

Education agents are organ­i­sa­tions that provide support to our appli­cants. They help the appli­cants to choose univer­sities and programmes, submit appli­ca­tions and provide support on the applicant’s path. 

Karelia UAS works in close cooper­ation with inter­na­tional education agents. We: 

• support our agent partners with infor­mation and materials, which are needed, 
• organize online meetings, 
• host our partners at our campuses when they come to Joensuu, 
• are open to all fresh ideas. 

Using services of an education agent is voluntary and the applicant can choose to use or not to use the services provided by education agents. The admission process in Finland is strongly based on equality among all prospective students. The use of education agents will never favor prospective students in terms of eligi­bility criteria, student selection processes or immigration processes. Agents cannot guarantee admission. Education agents are expected to act ethically and in the best interests of prospective students and HEIs.

The appli­cation process to Finnish HEIs is free of charge for all appli­cants and it takes place at Studyinfo.fi.

Regarding the Finnish Student Residence Permit, the Finnish HEIs do not cost any fees from the appli­cants and the fee should be paid to the Finnish Immigration Service. More infor­mation can be found on the Finnish Immigration Service website.

At the moment, we have agree­ments with the following agents:
