30 programmes with verified city evidence

Each published programme requires an exact FI_OFFICIAL source key, the same canonical university, and a source city matching this verified municipality study location. The current catalogue covers a selected university core rather than every recognised Finnish HEI or UAS programme in the municipality.

The current provider foundation is a selected ten-university core, not Finland's complete recognised HEI/UAS universe. Institution identity is still name-based provisional while Studyinfo organisation OID reconciliation remains pending.

Source-native degree levels may be shown below; canonical `qualification_level_id` repair is still pending.

Verified university study locations

1 institutions

Each row is a verified city study-location representative for the current university core. It is not a complete physical-campus inventory.

Verified programme sample

Up to 8 alphabetical examples from 30 exact source-city matched programmes. Counts remain verified-partial because UAS and other recognised-provider coverage is incomplete.

Student work context

A residence permit for studies allows paid employment in any field for an average of 30 hours/week. Individual weeks may exceed 30 if the year-end average stays within the limit. Degree-related practical training or diploma work can be outside the normal limit under Migri conditions.
