Welcome new students to University of Helsinki and Finland!

Welcome new students! Group of law students at Welcome fair -event!

It’s beginning of January and the historical City Centre Campus is full of new bright international students. It’s time to start exciting studies and meet new people. There are lot of fun things to do with your new friends, but also bureaucratic tasks you should do at the beginning of your study period. Luckily, University of Helsinki helps and gives you a lot of information at the Welcome fair -event, which is now open for two days; today and tomorrow! “We want to help our new students to get the information they need from the same place at the beginning of their studies. It’s important to us and to our students”, says Anna-Maria Byman from Student Services.

We took the opportunity to ask also from our new law student Eirini Andrikaki from Greece about what her impression of Helsinki has been after couple of days. “It’s really nice, even though it’s cold. I come from Greece, so its really different culture, but I like it so far. It’s great to see the famous Finnish education system and how it really works”. Sounds good to us! We hope you will have a rewarding time at the University of Helsinki.
