Congratulations!

Congratulations!

If you found this blog, you are probably someone who just got accepted to study at the University of Helsinki (UH). So, congratulations from all of us here at UH. We are happy that you are considering joining us and the community of 36 500 other students at UH.

This blog is one way for you to keep up-to-date on what is going on at the University from the perspective of a new student. We, i.e. staff at the Education Services of UH, as well as representatives of the Student Union of the University of Helsinki and current students at UH will let you know what things you should be aware of when planning a move to Finland to study, both all the fun stuff as well as the more bureaucratic necessities that just needs to be done.

Apart from new degree students we hope that all you new exchange students will find this blog as well. This information is for all of you!

Apart from this blog, you will find information on our New Students website. If you are on Facebook, make sure to like our New Students at UH Facebook page. It will keep you updated on when there are new posts on this blog and you’ll be able to connect with other new students coming to the University of Helsinki already before you arrive in Finland. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a future roommate there?

Looking forward to seeing you all in Helsinki when the studies begin!

Education Services and Student Union of the University of Helsinki
