5 Reasons Why You Should Study in Finland

If you have been following the news, you should know that Finland has a reputation for being among the friendliest and the wealthiest nations in the world. Whether you refer to the peace index or happiness index, it is always a charmer. Finnish Higher Education has amassed significant popularity lately due to extensive media coverage, especially in the areas of tourism and administration. From its lush valleys to scenic Helsinki capital, there is a whole package awaiting those who are willing to foot the bill. Students have shown eagerness to pick this country because they know it is not only a great opportunity to avail of high educational standards but also reap fruits of therapeutic surroundings.

Of course, this is not the whole picture. What I have just written down is pretty abstract so I know you are expecting more details. There are lots of things one can talk about Finnish Higher Education but I can only cover a few of the most important ones. Read along and you will know what makes Finland a remarkable option for your education and career.

  1. First thing first, top-quality universities
    What is the point of the natural scenic beauties and eye-catching infrastructure without good universities anyway? Well, here, the universities aren’t good; they are totally fantastic. I will state the facts: Finnish universities have been regularly ranked higher than mainstream education destinations such as the United States in a range of courses. They are known for their comprehensive academic curriculum and high focus on research output. Faculties are regarded as some of the best in the region, and their multi-disciplinary approach has attracted laudation. For a well-rounded experience, Finnish universities will make up for wonderful options.
  2. Education is less expensive than most European counterparts|
    European Union is mostly an expensive affair for international students, especially those who come from beyond the region. However, Finland could be a breather if you compare it with other EU counterparts. While local and EU students are exempted from the payment of tuition fees, others end up paying roughly between €6,000-€16,000, which is significantly lower than most EU destinations. In case you find it cumbersome, you should apply for financial support schemes. So long as your academic grades are good and your overall resume shows potential, you should be able to make the cut.
  3. Cost of living
    Finland being a Nordic country means that it is generally expensive. Much of the cost comes from the high standard of living here. However, that being said, there are a number of ways one can cut down on expenses, which is great news to the student community. Use your status as a student and avail yourself of the many student discounts offered by transportation services, food services, and fashion retail stores. You are also allowed to work part-time, and as much as 25 hours per week which is more than the usual 20 hours per week offered in many countries. Affordable student housing is readily accessible, something which is generally a problem in other countries such as the United Kingdom.
  4. Language Shouldn’t be a problem
    Well, the aforesaid title comes with a rider: it shouldn’t be a problem unless your degree program is instructed in Finnish. Anyway, despite Swedish and Finnish being the two official languages of the country, English is highly common and well-spoken here. Many courses in universities are offered in English; in case yours don’t, your university likely offers language courses in Finnish or Swedish. I strongly recommend that you do learn the local language whether or not your course is in English. Learning a new language is always a wonderful and highly resourceful experience.
  5. Freedom is precious
    The modern Finnish society is built on freedoms. One of the key areas where this is most reflected is the fact that students here get the liberty to decide which modules they wish to study as a result of which they develop skills and knowledge they are actually interested in. You can speak your mind, talk to your professors without using titles, and engage in diverse activities irrespective of who you are and where you come from.
