Description
The Fulbright Finland Foundation partners with Tampere University to support U.S. students admitted to the university’s International Master’s Degree Programs. The award is for a full master’s degree, rather than exchange or doctoral studies. English-taught master’s programs comprise 120 ECTS credits and two years of full-time study. Tampere University’s multidisciplinary research focuses especially on technology, health, and society, with education grounded in research and collaboration with society and working life.
Part of the global Fulbright program, the award promotes exchange of knowledge and professional talents between Finland and the United States. It supports international academic connections and opportunities to build professional networks. The Foundation seeks applicants interested in positive change, advancing their disciplines, and addressing national and international challenges. Grantees also serve as ambassadors for the Foundation, their home country, and their home organization.
