lihan_400x281The University of Helsinki is famous for its good education system. A personal study plan will be the first thing to consider as your study life begins. Living expense in Helsinki is quite high, however plenty of discounts are offered when you are a member of the Student Union. Skiing, camping in the forest, Vappu student festival, sauna and swimming in winter…All of these will give you a new view of this lovely Nordic country. What else? Well, it is time for you to experience it all!Li Han, studying in the International Master’s Programme in Food Sciences

Megan McCormick_400x281I did my compulsory internship on at the Finnish Forestry Research Institute (METLA), and it was a great experience because I was given a great deal of responsibility from the start and learned a lot about project management and participate in dynamic discussions by experts from around Europe on forest inventory methods, such as remote sensing, and statistical methods. Despite that these were not my primary areas of interest, it gave me the opportunity to network in my field and introduced me to the working culture in Finland.Megan McCormick, graduated from the International Master’s Programme in Forest Sciences and Business.

BarboraThere is no doubt that the University of Helsinki provides excellent studying programmes. The whole environment at the university is amazingly student friendly and I love the challenging classroom debates with my teachers and schoolmates. All this makes me think outside of the box.Barbora Czókolyová, studying in the International Master’s Programme in International Business Law and Public International Law.

laura sibinescu_400x281There is a lot of flexibility here compared to my former university, and I have to admit that at first it was pretty confusing.  But being able to take charge of my studies, and the fact that I found plenty of courses covering my area of interest was a huge source of motivation.Laura Sibinescu, PhD student, graduated from Master’s Programme in European Studies
