And if you have been accepted into a degree programme (congrats) you won't strictly speaking want a visa ("viisumi") but a student residence permit ("opiskelijan oleskelulupa").

The former, a "tourist visa", only allows you to stay in finland for 3 months. This note just because the word visa is often used to refer to foreign travel/immigration documents in general, it's good to be aware of the distinction here.
