The City of Jyväskylä offers numerous free language and integration opportunities during and after your studies, allowing you to remain and start a job or build a career.

For international students whose main job is to study, the cost of living may be relatively high. However, because Jyväskylä is a “students' city,” it is possible to obtain approximately 10% discounts on selected services, shops, performance shows, restaurants, movies, pubs, and so on.
Due to deals and rebates,international students can save a lot of money while still dining out, going to the gym, and attending shows and sporting events. An annual fee of 60 euros grants admission to all sports amenities at JYU's Sports Faculty, which is the largest in Finland.
