Finland is located in northern Europe, and its neighbors are Sweden, Norway and Russia. Finland's forests cover three-quarters of the country. The salient features of Finland's landforms are about 65,438+090,000 lakes and about the same number of islands. Therefore, Finland has the reputation of "the country of thousands of islands" and "the country of thousands of lakes".

Finnish and Swedish are official languages, but English is popular in Finland.

Finland is recognized as "the country with the least class hours, the shortest review time after class and the longest holiday", but it has world-class education quality. In the Pisa (Programmatic International Student Assessment) test conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Finnish students have performed very well and have been among the best for a long time. Higher education in Finland consists of two parts: comprehensive universities and Universities of Applied Sciences. Comprehensive universities provide higher education related to scientific research, relying on research and teaching and aiming at scientific research; Universities of Applied Sciences usually refers to regional higher education institutions, which teach different subjects and emphasize the connection with practical work. Universities of Applied Sciences awarded professional degrees in higher education.

Comprehensive universities and Universities of Applied Sciences are all over the country, ensuring that all students enjoy equal learning rights. All universities in Finland are public universities, and the accreditation information can be found on the website of the Ministry of Education.

Finland is one of the ten countries with the lowest cost of studying abroad in the world, and the master's tuition fee is about 7K euros to 1.2W euros, which is far lower than that of Britain and America. Before 20 17, international students studying in Finland are free of tuition. Unfortunately, this policy was cancelled after 17, and tuition fees were only reduced for international students from EU countries. However, university scholarships in Finland are very generous. Take the University of Eastern Finland as an example, science and engineering can cover 80% of the tuition, and business can cover 50% of the tuition.

Moreover, the Finnish government has implemented various subsidy policies for education, and students have preferential government subsidies in food, housing, medical care and transportation.

In addition, students can legally work to earn income during their studies, with no more than 25 hours per week. /zd/lx
