After completing the studies, the student may remain in Finland if he or she can be granted a new residence permit on other grounds. The permit may be granted, for example for postgraduate studies in the same field of study or on the basis of family ties or employment.

A foreign student who has graduated from a Finnish university of applied sciences can be issued a temporary residence permit so that he/she can look for work. A new temporary residence permit can be issued once for a graduate for six months after the previous residence permit has ended. Students who have completed a degree in Finland and have sufficient skills in the Finnish language have good opportunities to find employment in Finland.

Further information on the residence permit for students and on how to apply for it will be given also by the police.
