Amazing Reasons to Study in Finland

I remember the day, I checked my email and saw a congratulatory message: "We're glad to inform you that you've been given an admission..." I danced and shouted for Joy. The Joy I had was nothing compared to the contentment I feel after reflecting on my study days as a student nurse in a Finnish University. In no other of significance, below are some of the things I loved about studying in Finland:

No Competition in schooling: The Finnish educational system is designed to teach everyone. There's no room for anyone to show superiority in intelligence over another. Team work amongst students is highly encouraged to enable students share ideas together. Another way competition is avoided is by keeping student's grades private. Students have password to a software application where they check their grades. The only one that has access to a student's academic progress and grading sheet is a lecturer who fills in grade after the end of a course evaluation.

Multi-cultural standard of Education: In Finnish Universities, as a student you have the opportunity to literally meet people from all over the world. Such exposure, helps you to become culturally aware and most importantly tolerant to other's opinions, beliefs and perspectives towards life.

Support in Academics: As a student, you are entitled to a student tutor as soon as you accept an admission offer to a Finnish University. Student tutors provide support from orientation period of your study. Course tutors (usually lecturers) and group supervisors also provide additional support by checking every student’s progress and providing help when needed.

High-Standard of Education: The standard of Finnish educational system is evidently high.  Finnish Universities are ranked amongst the best in the world. Finnish Universities are also equipped with modern technological gadget prepared to meet student's needs. Another way, they achieve a high standard of education is by incorporating theoretical knowledge with practical experiences and simulations.

Friendly and Approachable Lecturers: As a student in a Finnish University, you are entitled to an unlimited access to your lecturers for academic purposes. You can contact a teacher with his/her school email or office phone number. Teachers are trained to teach in a friendly and educative manner.

Exchange Programme Entitlement: As a student, you are entitled to an exchange Programme outside Finland where you can get a credit, certificate or a degree. Nevertheless, you can choose to take or leave it. Either way, your learning experience will always be great. The amazing fact about the exchange programme is that the cost is covered by your Finnish University either partly or fully depending on the type of exchange programme you’re going to do.

Safety:
Who wants to study in a University where you are always a bundle of nerves? No one I can guess rightly! Well, in Finnish Universities, there's no need to worry about harassment, abuse and shootings because they're unheard of in Finland.
