Welcome to study in Finland!
In order to get adjusted here in Finland you need to know some basic things about studying here. Our study system circles around the individual student, him or her being the person deciding on and taking care of everything. It is crucial for newcomers to understand that they are the only ones who are going to take care of and monitor their studies. No one else will. This is the reason why this website was compiled: to ease the process of adjustment to our academic culture which is strongly characterised by self-directedness and independence.
