Salary survey of the Finnish Union of University Professors for 2024

The Finnish Union of University Professors has conducted its annual salary survey concerning professors’ salaries.

The number of full-time (full) professors increased slightly over the year and totalled 2,036 in 2024. According to the employer survey, a (full) professor’s monthly salary in September 2024 was 7,937 euro on a permanent contract (full) and 7,434 euro on a fixed-term contract.

In September 2024, there were 604 associate professors and 342 assistant professors (altogether 946 persons) on the tenure track for professors. The majority of them were in full-time employment relationships. In September 2024, associate professors’ full salary was 6,376 euro and assistant professors’ 5,442 euro.

Concern is raised by the fact that, since 2014, the salary development of professors has lagged behind compared to the entire teaching and research personnel.
