FinlandFinland is located way up in Northern Europe, by the Arctic Circle. Sweden, Norway, Russia and Estonia are our neighbours.

Clean, safe and equalInternational students choose Finland because it is an interesting, enjoyable place to live and study. Finland is well known as a safe and clean country, where people are equal. Men and women have the same rights. Finn-ish society is stable and reliable.

Nature is everywhereFinland is full of contrasts. Here, the four seasons contrast with each other, nightless nights of the summer interlace with dark winters, untouched forests and modern cityscapes interweave with one another. Nature is an important part of the Finnish way of life for a very simple reason: it is everywhere.

Free, equal education for all

We have one of the world’s most advanced education systems, which guarantees the same educational opportunities for everyone regardless of social or economic background.

The Finnish state of mindUnder the hard rock shell beats a warm and trust-worthy heart. Initial silences turn into friendships that last a lifetime. Finnish people appreciate honesty and trustworthiness. To be Finnish is to have sisu: to be persistent, courageous and undaunted.

There are no entrance examinations for
