Free education in finalnd
-
But even if it is cheaper, have you calculated the travel, accommodation, daily expenses etc etc? Coz from what i see, no matter how cheap the course fee are, studying overseas still need a lot of money.Originally posted by HeyshambaYehshamba:all i know its 700 euros per month to study in finland
The course is free
700 euros is around 1400 sgd rite?
that is 1400SDG x 12 mnths- = 16800 SGD

Seriously, if you lack the discipline to even figure out the website content for yourself, I really doubt that you are going to survive in finland if you ever get there. Sure, they might have english courses, but what do the people speak over there? It's a whole lot more than just knowing that they offer free education.
-
huh?
Really have to check if it is recognised by govt.. -
Our Gov don't care what if it is recong by their home country it is recon here.
I had friend studying in more Ulu Finland uni for her Masters.
Free, and Prof even offer to help her get a job there after getting her degree.
but since it if only offer in Finnish, she need to study a yr of language.
very very few degree is offered in English.
HSE do offer and it is drawing more International students these days.
Apparently top Biz school in Finland.
" A Polytechnic diploma makes you eligible. So you may apply. The score of 1350 refers to the sum received from the Math and Critical Reading sections together. It has been the score for the new student who has been the last one to be selected.

Free education may be extended to international students as well but it comes with conditions.

"8.2 Cost of Study
Since higher education is funded by the state through the Ministry of Education, students enrolled in the regular degree programs pay no tuition fees. However, students have to pay for their books and other materials as well as housing and living expenses themselves. The minimum budget for a student for one month is 600– 700 € (incl. rent, food, transportation). The student associations charge an annual membership fee (60 to 85 €), which is compulsory for university students who are studying for their Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees. It includes a
health care contribution that entitles the students to inexpensive health care services (the Finnish Student Health Service). In addition, some discounts are available. All degreeseeking students are members of student associations. All HSE students belong to the HSE Student Association (KY), which arranges cultural, sports and social affairs. There are a number of clubs for various hobbies, sports and cultural interests. HSE does not have any funds available to support students in need of financial assistance. However, foreign citizens can get financial aid for studies from Finnish government if they live
in Finland at least two years for purposes other than studying, and their residence in Finland is
considered to be permanent.

i heard about it too but living expenses will be a killer itself, aside from the language.
-
It's free... but the language courses are not.
They don't teach in English, so you got to either learn Finnish or Swedish or another language. English may be used if it is a post-graduate course, and not many universities offer that.
Either learn it there, or learn it in Singapore (assuming you are here).
Pass the language test then apply.
Same for Denmark and Sweden. -
i referring to living expenses la.....scandinavia has one of the highest costs of living in the world...assuming ts is a normal mid class sporean he wont be able to afford it ......a simple plate of fried rice costs 40 euros there... its a killer..... dont quote me out of context....Originally posted by Wega007:Read, and do some searching b4 saying lah...

Good luck with finnish.....the language is worse than picking up german grammar.....they conjugate nouns and verbs together....it probably finish you off or you just have to pick up a university which teaches in Swedish and English.

I didn't see fried rice that expensive in Finland. That 'Singapore Hot Wok' place at Kamppi sold their dishes for 10 Euros with a big cup of Pepsi.
I didn't eat there though so don't ask me what their stuff tasted like, but it looked big enough to have enough leftover for the next meal.
Just stick to local fare, and if you look in the right places you can get a generous serving for a reasonable price.

It belongs to the same family as Hungarian and Estonian, then again, I don't know anyone here who's studied those languages.Originally posted by fymk:Good luck with finnish.....the language is worse than picking up german grammar.....they conjugate nouns and verbs together....it probably finish you off or you just have to pick up a university which teaches in Swedish and English. -
so darn expensive U still can find PRC and Indians going. they must be damn rich..
study overseas who ask u eat out? even ppl studying in NZ, Canada, USA hardly ever eat out. buy and cook at home. pack lunch.
Laws also allow students to work off campus. can make $$$. more $$ than Mac in SG. then you can afford the expensive food.
SIM cost $20-30K for entire program, however thats DL.
go Oz, 1 yr is like $30K already. 2 yrs there. more expensive than finland and you are not at their top Uni. Top Oz uni fees alone cost AUD$22K or more. -
someone's paying for it, even if it's not you...you think the money just magically appears?Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Well, it does exist in Scandinavia.
their taxes are paying for it. it far from being "free" -
