I am pleased to announce that at least one of my channel's followers has secured a place of study at YSAO in Iisalmi. Additionally, two have been accepted into Riveria in Joensuu, and two into Savo Vocational College in Kuopio. I want to encourage all of you to apply for what you dream of, whenever the time is right. It's important to have goals and to dream, and maybe one beautiful day, they will come true for you. 😍🙏🏆

🎉 kiitos John!

Ole hyvä! I think LAB University of Applied Sciences has affordable tuition fees and it's still possible to get a scholarship for studies.

Hello john. Can i apply for the bsc in nursing with my PTE academics. Thanks

[@JohnofFinland291]

Hi, The general requirement is general or vocational upper secondary education outside of Finland, such as a high school diploma. The education should provide general eligibility for higher education in the country where the qualification was obtained. Yes, PTE Academic or PTE Academic Online. Minimum score 58.

Good day John, Please I need clarification, I want to study nursing, but the program in Lab University of Applied Science Is Public Health Nurse. Please is Public health nurse and Bachelor in Nursing the same thing? Can I work as a nurse after studying Public health nurse?

[@JohnofFinland291]

Hi, they aren’t exactly the same training. However, the public health nurse program also includes the studies of a registered nurse. The public health nurse degree is slightly broader and offers you more job opportunities, and it’s somewhat a higher degree in a way. With a registered nurse degree, you can’t work in public health nurse positions. Personally, I would primarily apply for the public health nurse program at LAB if I wanted to work as a registered nurse as well. For example, at Metropolia in Helsinki, the tuition fees for registered nurses are significantly higher. In Lappeenranta, the cost of living is also lower, and finding accommodation is easier. You can still apply to registered nurse programs and see where you get accepted.

[@user-wf7tg3cw9w]

@@JohnofFinland291 Thanks a lot for the clerification and explanation.

[@JohnofFinland291]

I hope this helps with your choice of application targets, and I always recommend applying to multiple institutions if it doesn’t incur additional costs. Competition for study spots is intense, especially for nursing programs, which are highly sought after. In Finland, it doesn’t matter which university of applied sciences you graduate from, as employment is guaranteed. There might be minor differences in training emphasis and elective course options, which are broader in larger schools. Additionally, there are variations in tuition fees. Of course, cities vary in size, and some have more international students or simply more students overall. After one year of studies, you can already work as a practical nurse alongside your studies. The salary for a practical nurse is only slightly lower than that of a registered nurse.

Welcome to Study Finland!

[@marieabanilla2024]

I visited the school website they have tuition fee😮

[@JohnofFinland291]

Yes, it's true that students from outside the EU and EEA have to pay tuition fees. However, you have the opportunity to apply for a partial scholarship or grant, which covers 50% of the tuition fees. By paying within three weeks of your acceptance, you will receive a 20% Early Bird discount for the first year of studies. After one year of nursing studies, you have the opportunity to work as a practical nurse. The salary is only slightly lower than that of a registered nurse. You can work temporarily, for example as a summer substitute for a registered nurse, once you have completed at least 140 ECTS credits, and as a substitute for a public health nurse once you have completed at least 180 ECTS credits. While studying, you can work an average of 30 hours per week. There are plenty of jobs available in the healthcare sector.

Hi sir, how Indian nurses can work in Finland can you share the pathway

[@JohnofFinland291]

I’ll add this topic to my list for consideration, and I’ve already started looking into it a bit. The rules are the same for all nurses and doctors who have graduated outside the EU. This applies to both Finns and EU citizens as well.

[@JohnofFinland291]

@@harish6133 As of April 2024, Indian nurses have still been recruited directly from India. There might have been a misunderstanding. To my knowledge, Finland is eager to hire Indian nurses. India's population is enormous compared to Finland's, and the arrival of nurses from India wouldn't jeopardize India's healthcare system. Finns probably don't use the "agency" you mentioned.

John I will be coming to Finland as a lahihoitaja, i have A2.1 Finnish language proficiency level. Can i apply for it . although i have the work resident permit already.

[@JohnofFinland291]

I'm not sure about your educational background and whether you're studying through an apprenticeship or as a full-time student to become a practical nurse. I recommend contacting LAB University of Applied Sciences and confirming with the Finnish Immigration Service (MIGRI) how it would affect your residence permit, or if you would need to change it. There are many factors at play here, so I can't give a straightforward yes or no.

[@estherfolivi9329]

Hi i have a child who will soon be 17 years can she apply?

[@JohnofFinland291]

I couldn't find the age requirement on LAB's website, but typically, most higher education institutions in Finland require applicants to be at least 18 years old when they start their studies. I recommend contacting the school directly for confirmation. The application period for LAB has already ended if you're applying from abroad. However, nursing programs are available at other schools, and the application period opens at the end of August.

Hello currently studying nursing in the Philippines upcoming 3rd year, can I avail scholarship in Finland if I transfer there to finish my bachelor in Nursing?

[@JohnofFinland291]

You still have the opportunity to apply for scholarships or grants at most universities, at least partial ones. Schools and various organizations will decide whether to award them to the applicant. It is advisable to contact a Finnish university directly about this matter.

[@JohnofFinland291]

Thank you for being part of our channel! I'm not an expert in immigration matters. If your studies were degree-seeking, you would have direct rights to work an average of 30 hours per week. However, the work rights associated with a residence permit can vary depending on the situation, so it's advisable to check the specific conditions at migri.fi/en/home and you can directly inquire with them for more information.

The free tuition not for we that are currently residing in Africa

[@JohnofFinland291]

Thank you for the comment! Free application means that you do not have to pay anything to submit your application. Due to a legal change, applicants from outside the EU and EEA will soon have to pay to submit their applications to higher education institutions in Finland. This practice was in place a while ago and is now being reinstated. At the same time, the scholarship and grant system will be abolished, and non-EU citizens will have to pay full tuition fees. This legal change will take effect next year. I don’t think I said that education is free, or did I? 🙂

[@ebenezerbabalola]

I mean to say no scholarship for we residing in Africa except 20% early payment rebate. Infact there tuition is much compared to some other European institutions

@@ebenezerbabalola The rules for applying for scholarships are the same for all students from outside the EU and EEA. The regulations are not based on continent.

The scholarship is a 50% reduction on the annual tuition fee. A student must complete 60 credits per academic year to be eligible for the scholarship. This policy will be applied until the end of the study time.” “In the video, I did not compare to other European countries or schools.” 😊

If your diploma from your home country is a post-secondary education that grants you the right to apply for higher education or university there, then there shouldn’t be any issues with applying. In Finland, vocational education or high school provides the opportunity to apply to universities of applied sciences and universities.

@NajebTravel Hi, I know the first company you mentioned. It is a well-known and official company in the Finnish business register, and the person behind it is very famous in Finland and internationally. It is not a scam company. A few reliable websites for you to explore and help with your decision-making: finestfuture.org/ yle.fi/a/74-20086933 Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything about this other company, nor have I seen any news about it. It has come up a few times on KZbin, and I have seen its website being advertised. However, I cannot say whether it is reliable or not, as I haven't heard anything about it.

[@NajebTravel]

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it

[@JohnofFinland291]

You’re welcome!

[@JohnofFinland291]

@@NajebTravel Tip! Vocational education generally has lower Finnish language requirements. This makes studying feasible even with weaker language skills. Professions that involve less interaction with people and less writing, such as welding, cooking, cleaning, and other hands-on trades, are examples. High school education is inherently demanding as it strongly prepares students for higher education, usually aiming for university. There is a lot of writing and reading involved. A larger portion of vocational school graduates go directly into a profession, and as I understand it, not many continue straight to higher education. However, those who do continue from vocational school tend to go to universities of applied sciences, while most high school graduates go to universities. It is possible but very rare to continue from vocational school to university. This is mainly because vocational school does not offer courses that prepare students for academic studies, such as mathematics, biology, chemistry, psychology, etc. In high school, it is possible to choose more in-depth courses. On the other hand, in vocational school, it is possible to complete a dual degree in four years, earning both a vocational qualification and a high school diploma. It is also possible to later pursue adult education with advanced courses that best prepare for university.
