Tommy Said:

What do I have to do to study in Finland?

We Answered:

In the case of domestic students, universities typically decide on admissions based on a combination of matriculation exam (ylioppilastutkinto) results and entrance exam results. With foreign students, it’d be more likely that the main focus would be on the entrance exams, unless the grades on the applicants final high school report card are directly compatible to the Finnish grading-system.

The vast majority of foreign students in Finnish universities are exchange students. It would very difficult for a foreigner to apply to a Finnish university, fly in to do the entrance exams and then attend a university, especially since nearly all courses are conducted in Finnish.

When applying to a Finnish university one has to apply for a major subject. Minor subjects (typically for a Bachelor’s Degree one needs two minors) are picked on the first or second year and it can be difficult to get into certain minors (the more popular they are, the pickier the teachers can be). Getting a Bachelor's Degree is expected to take three years, while a Master's Degree (most teacher's strongly recommend getting one these days) takes an additional two years.

As the free university education system implies, there are no tuitions involved (unless one comes from outside the EU). However, the living expenses around here make up for the lack of tuitions. Students usually live in rented apartments attained through student housing companies (which have lower rents than most private landlords). Finnish students are entitled to receiving benefits from the government, but I highly doubt this applies to foreign students, and getting a job while studying is next to impossible.

a question about how to go and study in finland coming form a abroad wolf?

We Answered:

Okay, I was with you until the second subortinate clause in the second sentance. Now I am somewhat confused (and hungry, but that has nothing to do with your question).

The Univesities of Helsinki, and Tampere have large literature programs that are administered in English, Swedish, and Finnish (the latter language offering the most courses, obviously). As long as you can prove compentency in one of those languages it is possible to study in Finland.

Michael Said:

can any body give the information about study in Finland, plzzzz?

We Answered:

If you've chosen a study abroad program in Finland that is focused on architecture, environmental science or technology, you've lucked out - those just happen to be some of the country's specialties.

Architecture and Design Programs

Finland is the home of such famous architects as Alvar Aalto, Reima Pietilia and Lars Sonck. Architecture programs in Finland will focus a great deal on design, which is one of the country's claims to fame. As part of one of these programs you'll surely discover:

Kenkävero, Finland's largest wooden vicarage which was built more than 500 years ago;
The neoclassical architecture of capital city Helsinki's Senate Square boasts the Helsinki Cathedral and Government Palace, both built by Carl Ludvig Engel in the 1800s;
The majesty of the Olavinlinna and Snow Castles.
Design is a major component of architecture, and Finland is known for its excellence in design, whether architectural, fashion, textile or otherwise. If design's your thing, you won't want to pass up a visit to the galleries, studios, shops and museums of Design District Helsinki. It even has the word "design" in the name!
Environmental and Biological Programs

Environmental students, as well as anyone (and everyone) who plans to enjoy the stunning natural beauty of Finland, must embrace the country's "Everyman's Rights." This social standard states that while you are free to roam the countryside and waters at will, provided you cause no disturbance to man or nature. Explore the Arctic Circle, spend days in the expansive Evo forest area or study the expansive landscape on one of many hiking trails.

And environmental study abroad programs in Finland expose students to this abundant natural beauty, including the country's many lakes, forests and wooded hills. Finland has more than 30 national parks, including the spectacular Koli National Park. Students can observe numerous plant and animal species, rare geological features, quartzite cliffs and pristine Lake Pielinen.

Technology Programs

Technology students will be glad to know they won't have any trouble getting wired up in Finland - it has the most Internet connections in the world (how else would Santa maintain such an up-to-date database?). Finland study abroad programs in technology will reveal that the country is as innovative and advanced as they come. Helsinki in particular is internationally known for scientific and high-tech excellence:

You can thank Helsinki for the ubiquitous Nokia ringtone you hear everywhere, as the powerhouse cell phone manufacturer is headquartered in the Espoo section of the city;
Well-known Video/CD-ROM artist Marita Liulia got her start there;
Helsinki features numerous well-regarded polytechnic schools where students can study in areas including telecommunications, mobile technology and biotechnology.

Keeping on the subject of Helsinki, this most known of Finnish cities offers many fine universities and polytechnics where international students can study just about any subject field of interest. Its artistic and architectural wonders, its relatively mild climate and its small-town ambiance will captivate any study abroad student, including you.

Elaine Said:

is it good for me to study in finland at tamk uni tempre leaving india?

We Answered:

TAMK is not an university. It's 3rd level vocational college. They may call themselves university, but university is entirely different. College education in general is more practical than university education.

TAMK is in Tampere which is one of the biggest towns in Finland so I guess their quality is among the best in this country.

There's no tuition fees for non-EU students but they're being planned. Life in here is currently very hard for students unless they've got family to support them financially due to recession. Students aren't getting apprenticeship positions and their studies are in risk of being prolonged.
