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. 😍🙏🏾🏆

[@ItsStrawberryShortCake]

@johnofFinland I am a new subscriber! Thank you for your informative videos. Yes, continue to put out this kind of videos where you are a valid resource of information on education in Finland available to foreigners and non EU applicants.

[@JohnofFinland291]

Hello, thank you for your message. I will indeed continue to provide free vocational training programs that are open to everyone. Currently, such programs are only available in a few schools and select fields. Additionally, I will offer higher education courses going forward; however, these will incur charges for non-EU and EEA citizens. On the other hand, higher education courses taught in Finnish and Swedish are free for students of all nationalities. It is possible to start with a vocational qualification and subsequently pursue higher education in Finnish or Swedish at no cost. This process generally takes time, but some individuals have a knack for quickly mastering a new language. Therefore, it is not entirely impossible if one is sufficiently passionate.

[@ItsStrawberryShortCake]

@@JohnofFinland291 Wow! that's really interesting. So after a vocational study (non EU) one can apply for a higher education at a university or UAS at no cost? for as long as resident permit is still valid, correct?

[@JohnofFinland291]

Yes that’s right!

[@JohnofFinland291]

@ItsStrawberryShortCake Student studying in programmes taught in Finnish or Swedish are not required to pay fees regardless of their nationality. Fees will be charged from students from outside the EU or European Economic Area (EEA) studying towards bachelor or master level degrees in languages other than Finnish or Swedish at universities of applied sciences (UAS) and universities.

[@ItsStrawberryShortCake]

​@@JohnofFinland291 got it, that's for higher education. But if I'd study another vocational program for free - is that possible?

tHANKS SO MUCH.. HOPE DEPENDANTS IS ALLOWED

[@JohnofFinland291]

Could you clarify what "depants" refers to? If it includes your spouse or children, you'll need sufficient funds to support them for residence permits. Another scenario is if your spouse plans to study in Finland too. Note that a study permit and a residence permit are different, and a study permit alone doesn't guarantee residence if the necessary funds, approximately 6,720 euros for a year, aren't in your account.

Thanks! Certainly! A couple of schools in Finland are planning to offer English-language programs. One will likely open applications this spring or summer, requiring basic Finnish skills. It will later expand to offer a total of six programs. Another school is introducing a new English-language trainee, welcoming international applicants, expected to start within the next 1-2 years.

Yes, there are some, but they are available only in Finnish or Swedish. In vocational education, there are only a few qualifications offered in English. In universities of applied sciences, there are significantly more options to study in English. However, these programs are subject to tuition fees for applicants from outside the EU and EEA. Only the courses mentioned in the video are primarily in English, and the programs highlighted in the video accept applicants from outside the EU and EEA.

Sir please can i come to Finland with my family on vacational study if i have enough proof of fund for them and secondly sir please is getting job easy in Finland as an international student. Thanks. Please 🙏 kindly reply me

[@JohnofFinland291]

Getting a job is not easy for an international student. It depends on what you are willing to do and what your previous education and work experience are. Additionally, it is generally easier to find a job in the Helsinki metropolitan area. In other parts of Finland, it is more difficult but possible. In smaller cities, it can be very difficult to find a job. You can bring your family to Finland, but your salary and savings in your account must also cover your family. So, you need more savings and income the more family members you have in your household. If I remember correctly, you also need to apply for a residence permit for your family members in Finland.

Hi John, can I pliz know which school has medical assistant course, I would like to travel to Finland for this course

[@JohnofFinland291]

Hi! Actually, there is no such degree in Finland. The closest equivalent is the qualification for a practical nurse. The video contains all the information and all the options. Did you have the opportunity to watch the video carefully?

[@JohnofFinland291]

This might be the closest training to what you were looking for. To become a care assistant, one typically undergoes vocational training at a secondary education institution by completing a program based on modules from the Vocational Qualification in Social and Health Care (practical nurse). The program entails 60 competence points and usually spans about one year. However, it should be noted that this is a training program, not a formal qualification. The training is available in Finnish and Swedish.

In nearly all universities in Finland, you can study for a bachelor's and master's degree in English. Scholarships or grants are available, and each university has slightly different offerings. I will make a video about them at some point. Thank you for your request. Currently, I have only one video about a university of applied sciences and the master's degrees available there. The application period has already passed, but the video might still be of some help to you.

@@seraphinaeboka6409 University education is not free for citizens of non-EU countries. You will have to pay for it, and you might be able to get some of this money back later. I cannot make a video about 100% free university education, as the rules change every year. Tuition fees in Finland are comparatively affordable internationally, generally ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 euros per semester. In some years, exceptionally talented students have been able to study at various universities on a 100% scholarship.
