Differences Between University in Finland vs UK (Scotland)

[@data_velho_rishi]

Hey Katya! Thanks a lot for this video. I'm planning to do my MS in Finland next year. That's the reason I'm learning a bit Finnish too. Very informative one. Tysm 🙂

[@KatChats.]

Best of luck! Glad it was helpful :)

[@acspore]

Very comprehensive, thanks, mine, American uni in Texas, is closer to Scotland than Finland, in the end its what you make or get out of it that matters.

[@HBgames1]

your description of the exam conditions we have gave me anxiety haha 😂 nice vid keep it up!! :)

[@LukeHarveyhar]

Very insightful! Enjoyed listening to the diffrences - might have to steal this idea for UK & Germany :)

[@KatChats.]

Oh I would absolutely love to watch that!! :D

In the USA, a university may consist of different colleges each with a different focus. For example, the university may contain a college of medicine, a college of science and mathematics etc. Same occurs in the U.K.; For example, University of Cambridge includes Christ's College, Churchill College, Clare College etc.

[@MustaLaatta]

Great summarize! Strange times to wake up -Timetables changin'weekly, allmost surprise exams, (odd) teachers

[@joshuabow4574]

What a great and informative video! I was wondering what your perception is (both in Finland and from Edinburgh) about the way different degree types are valued. As someone living in England, there is noticeable (and well-known) prejudice against 'social sciences, liberal arts and humanities' - by which we mean history, geography, modern foreign languages, classics, art, music, philosophy, sociology and psychology, economics, business, etc. It's basically anything except STEM - sciences (only really physics, biology and chemistry), engineering, maths and technology (like computer science). Did you feel this at Edinburgh/do you feel this in Finland? Many thanks for your videos on learning the Finnish language and culture, hoping to emigrate in the future! Minä olen oppinut sinulta paljon suomesta ja suomalaisista! Kiitos!

I think your course was definitely a factor in terms of class times, psychology is definitely seen as a course with very little contact time compared to other courses. On the other end of the spectrum is something like medicine where a 9 to 5 day is standard and you might have nightshifts and stuff in later years. It definitely depends on what you study

[@kevingarciamurga6890]

you are studying medicine? Where?

[@viikkasti]

Partner university of my university (exists no longer independently) was University of applied science of Kajaani. Unfortunately my interest in Finland came later.

[@trudie13]

Masters Degree! I have been watching you since you were in high school ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥😁

[@KatChats.]

WOW that's crazy! :o Thank you sincerely so much for sticking around for that long. I do remember your profile pic actually, I think I remember it popping up now and again xD Thank you so much honestly, you're the best 💖

Most of my days at the university here in France began at 7.45am xD And I had full days until 6pm or even 7pm somedays xD.

[@KatChats.]

oh gosh!! :o

[@indranil56]

It used to be free of charge for non EU students too till 2017.

[@ThomasCartwrightLancs]

Only one 9am class?? Lucky that, I'm on my 3rd year out of four and I've had 15 classes start at 9am (UK)

[@vcf619]

My masters in Oulu (Finland) was way too easy in comparison to what i went through in Dubai! I feel like most exchange student felt the same (that universities are pretty chill around here)

[@KatChats.]

Hmm I do also feel like the grading + exams are easier here too. They definitely are way more chill that's for sure xD

[@marleneantunes3293]

Hi! Do you like going to Oulu? I am thinking about applying to masters there but I have no clue...

[@marleneantunes3293]

It's so hard to evaluate a university from the outside

[@vcf619]

@@marleneantunes3293 Hey It really depends on a lot of different factors tbh...I personslly liked it and I'm still here but Oulu is not for everone and it took some time for me to get used to it too...your major is another important factor too...feel free to ask any specefic question you might have!

[@marleneantunes3293]

Getting admission in Finland Universities is very tough ..compare to uk universities ..and admission processing in Finland is very long ..like it takes around 3-4 months to get entrance result ..Even I have face lots of pain ..but at last I didn't get visa from immigration due to pandemic . Immigration of Finland provide worst service to the international students...I have face the pain of waiting 1 year for visa and even I didn't get visa at last ...they ruin my 1 year time .such a waste of time ..while applying Finland ..But someday I wanna be there .. it's my dream .I am hoping to do my master degree in Finland..🥰

[@KatChats.]

Sorry you had such a bad experience D: Hopefully things will sort themselves out and the next time things will go much smother and you'll be able to come and study without any hassles!

Which program did you study in Scotland and Finland?

[@prashantgupta6767]

Can help me to get admission in Finland? Can english speaking people can survive if don't know Finnish language.

Ei mulla yliopisto-opiskelijana ikinä alkanut luennot noin aikaisin, lukuunottamatta ehkä vapaaehtoisia kieliopintoja joita kävin ennen kandia. Sille oli termikin, ”akateeminen aamupäivä” 😄

[@KatChats.]

Kävipä tuuri xD

[@torpmorp1324]

Mulla alkoi Amerikassa lakiopinnot klo 7.15. Vieläkin kauhistuttaa, vaikka aikaa on kulunut 20 vuotta.

[@AJBonnema]

I will ask my son what his experiences are. He decided to start his masters in Karlsruhe (and finish it there). In terms of math I think Germany rates better than Finland, which is why he chose Germany. will let you know if he wants to watch this video, once he gets started. May take a while though (they start in Nov). Thank you for the video. When I get to Finland, I hope to be following Finnish courses at the university. Starting at 8:15 though is not my favorite time.

[@KatChats.]

There was another comment under this video that said they never had classes too early, so I guess it might depend on your course xD

[@papizer4473]

The Scottish system is a lot similar to the French one

Uni in scotland is free, England is not. So theres 1 difference when saying “uk”

We in Finland take our education seriously and we don't provide so much entertainment - sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience.

[@65denikat]

One diff is that you now have to pay for it as a third country citizen...

[@1watsonwatson]

Bottom line, is that Great Britain isn't very great anymore - it's more like a developing country, when compared to Finland

[@chefo93]

The volume is really low. :(

[@KatChats.]

Sorry :(

[@FasterJeff]

In my motherland of Russia University is easy. Pay enough and you'll skip 5 years of studies. Suck it, Finland, lol.

[@roberth4395]

No offense, but Finland is like 100 years ahead of (hellhole) Russia.

[@FasterJeff]

@@roberth4395 I know, my whole comment was sarcastic.

[@Kopie0830]

Meh, who cares about schools training you to be slaves? It's just a bunch of papers. Just learn what is in demand for work and your set to go. You don't need to waste 10 years of your life with things you will never use in real life.

[@roberth4395]

@@FasterJeff I know, I just wanted to throw a jab at Russia. I hope we are cool.

[@FasterJeff]

@@Kopie0830 I agree 50/50. In Finland studying is really useful. In another hand many people are giving up on becoming a doctor in Finland, because it is WAY too hard here. The entrance exams are insane!
