Education is highly valued in Finland, and
the high standard of education is one of the corner-stones
of Finnish culture. It is also part of the national strategy
to develop the country as an information society. For foreign
students, studying and training in Finland offers a way to
acquire academic and professional experience, as well as
to gain personal growth through living in a foreign country
and culture.
Finnish educational institutions cooperate extensively
with their counterparts in many countries throughout the
world, therefore there are many ways for you to come to
study in Finland. The information on this page provides
a good starting point.

polytechnics. There are over 450 programmes available so
far. You can search by field, institution, program or level.
