Educational Agents

Educational Agents and agencies are organisations which provide help and support when finding the suitable degree programmes and institutions. They often provide services like submitting applications and apply for residence permits and study visas.

Certificated Agencies

At the moment HAMK is having partner agreements with the several agencies, all listed bellow. These agencies receive HAMK training and materials every year in order to provide updated and correct information about HAMK, degree programmes, application process, tuition fees and scholarships etc.

Please notice, that applying to HAMK is free of charge and the processes is quite simple. You can always ask advice from HAMK’s personel, so you don’t need to use third-party service for applying or starting your studies. Be also aware, that tuition fees should always be paid directly to HAMK. You should never pay HAMK’s tuition fee through third parties.

National Code of Conduct for Agents

The Finnish International Education Agent Code of Conduct (ACoC) establishes professional standards for agents recruiting international students to Finnish higher education institutions. Part of Finland’s strategy to increase international student numbers and retain them in the workforce, the ACoC ensures ethical interactions and inclusivity in recruitment processes. Endorsed by Finnish educational authorities, it complements national guidelines on ethical conduct in education export.

The Agent Code of Conduct has received approval from Arene, the Rector’s Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences, and Unifi, the Rector’s Council for Finnish Universities. As a result, this document establishes standards for conducting international student recruitment. For more details, please refer to Arene’s press release.

HAMK is also committed to operating in accordance with this agent code of conduct and expects its partners to adhere to the same ethical student recruitment standards.
