tomorrow...first day of summer school.. no!!
I was wondering hows school & university in Suomi..
in here the whole school schedule to university is like this:

age:2-5 years
Kindergarten (no compulsion-for kids who have busy mothers..but its fun,my best years was in kindergarten =D)

age:6
Pre-Elemantary school for 1 year.

age: from 7 to 11
Elementary School for 5 years.

age:11 to 14
Middle school for 3 years.

age: 14 to 17
High School for 3 years & get High School Diploma.

age:17
Pre-University for 1 year...Compulsion for University.
& after Pre-University there is a hard exam named "Konkoor" for entering university.

& university begins ....

so hows education in Suomi? can I access to University with a high school diploma?
or I HAVE TO get a Pre-University Document,because I know people who got agreement with Pre-University Document from Helsinki & Turku University .

Far as I know, the undergraduate studies include that and the master's degree together; most likely having them as two separate entities are confined to people from other educational systems perhaps? One of the reasons there appear to be a lack of master's degrees choices available in Finland, for you handle the two together starting from the undergraduate. That makes 3 years of undergraduate and 2 years of master's degrees, 5 years of uni for ya.

Vesania In my opinion send your applications to Helsinki university or Tampere & Turku
Helsinki university is a high ranked one which I know alot of nerd persian students are there & always get A & A+!
& I saw if I study & even buy a house in one of best neighborhoods in Helsinki its so cheaper than England!
Send ur applications!Helsinki university is scholarship
