Hospitality of northern Finland

Our higher education institutions in Finnish Lapland are renowned for their friendly hospitality. With high teacher to student ratios, and modern student services provided in English, complemented with individual tutoring and advanced learning facilities, we offer our students the best learning environment possible.

Teaching is provided in up-to-date study facilities with research tools such as free access to well equipped computer labs and libraries which are at every student’s disposal. Our campuses and housing companies offer student accommodation at reasonable prices. Campuses have various catering outlets and sports facilities with special student prices. A variety of indoor and outdoor activities are organised by student organisations. In addition to services on campus, we offer several services off campus. For example personal student advisory services are offered. Many of our academic staff members are fluent in English, whilst the language is widely spoken in society.

Your personal safety is a valued issue. The crime rate is low in Finland in comparison with most other European countries. Visitors have little need to fear for their personal safety or their property. Finland is by international standards a safe, tolerant and open nation where inappropriate behaviour does not usually occur.

The combination of high quality education in a Nordic society where Western and Eastern traditions meet, form the foundation for an inspiring cross-culture learning experience that will provide you with an innovative learning ­platform, to increase your potential and capabilities in shaping your future.
