Hey Oliver, can't thank you enough for this video, this step-by-step is extremely helpful and you made things really clear. Can't wait for the next joint application video 😃
Hey Arthur, im very happy to hear this. There's so many things here to take into consideration and i had to skip some individual parts to keep this video shorter than an hour 😅. Do let me know if you have any feedback that i could use to make the joint application video even better.
@@RoadtoFinnishI believe you made the video crystal clear and those details you skipped are self-explanatory the majority of the time, so there's no problem at all!
Hey Oliver, your videos are really descriptive n informative for fresh applicants, imparting appropriate guidelines Seeking to know more about the part-time/student work culture while pursuing studies life in Finland Best wishes !
The situation is chaging every single day so this comment is going to be outdated in a week after writing it. However, the current situation is that most schools are still going to be doing lectures online at least for Spring 2021. Hopefully we are able to get back to contact teaching in the fall but anything can happen in between so cant say for sure. All student activities are cancelled for the time being so there are no parties etc.. This means that student life is mostly just studying for now, but i would assume this is the same all around the world. In terms of our day-to-day life, its not that bad. Stores are open as normal and people do wear masks. There are some restrictions on services like restaurants but those should not make such a huge impact on your life. So i would say that the current situation is really good considering how bad it is in so many other, even European countries.
Hey Oliver,You have described vey well and It is very informative. I would like to request you could you please make another video to how to apply Finnish University with Joint Application. If you already made video on this then kindly share me the link please. Anticipating your prompt and positive response would be highly appreciated.
Hi Oliver, I noticed the studyinfo website says I need to request transcripts sent directly from my US University to Finland admission office. So i’m a bit confused about whether I need to upload my transcript again on Studyinfo website during the application. Is there any instructions for that?
Thank you Oliver ! I already have a bachelor degree and I'm applying to another Bachelor degree, so my question is : will I need to upload my general secondary certificate or just use the previous bachelor degree ?
Hello Oliver, should I upload my reference letter from professors even the program doesn't mention to have one? Your videos are so helpful, thank you for your effort!
Hey Sharon and thanks for the question! This is a tough one because some schools have explicit instructions on their application webpages that you should not include any extra attachments than those that are required. However, if the application allows you to upload additional attachments, i dont see how that could hurt you. So please refer once more to the university application website so that you can make an informed decision about this. I cant say 100% sure yes or no.
Hey Oliver, your videos are great. Really enlightening and well prepared. I am planning to apply to Aalto and have a couple of questions that I cannot find the answer to through the website, since you are a student already you might know the answers for me: 1) Will 2021-2022 have online lectures available? 2) Exchange programs look awesome, are we as Aalto students allowed to enroll in exchange programs more than once? Thanks in advance
Hey Christos and thanks for the positive feedback and the great questions! I dont actually have any lectures left (currently finishing my thesis) so im not 100% certain of how they are organised in 2021 BUT based on what i have read and heard, Aalto will still be doing most courses online during Spring 2021. There might be some exceptions with small courses, but i would say its safe to assume that most lectures are going to be done online until the summer (depending on how the situation with covid develops). About the exchange programmes, my understanding is that you can do one exchange semester for your bachelor's degree and one for your master's. So in theory you could do two exchange programmes abroad if you do both your bachelor's and master's at Aalto. Hope these help. Btw, since you are interested in studying in Finland, i really recommend that you consider joining our Discord server. The idea of the server is to build a community of people interested in studying and working in Finland. On the server i post updates about new videos and upcoming live streams and people help each other out with study and work related questions. If you are interested, you can join the server using this link: discord.gg/Py4T5CV
@@RoadtoFinnish That's great info. I will definitely join the server since I have already moved to Finland and I am trying to blend in and try to figure out how things work here. Thanks for the update Oliver, have a good year.
Hi Oliver under the Degree section, there is a question "Official name of the Institute in Latin letter" And "Name of the Institute in English". What is the difference in both?
A great question! My understanding is that latin letters simply means latin alphabet (aka not in Japanese or in Chinese letters). On the other hand, the "Name of the institute in English" refers to the fact that some schools have been named in the local language. E.g. the "Hanken School of Economics" which resides in Helsinki is originally named in Swedish with the official name "Hanken Svenska handelshögskolan". So in the form you simply have to have the name in English so that its easier for the administrators.
How many programs can i apply in a particular university and how many in studyinfo portal? I mean can i apply 10-12 programs on studyinfo portal or is there any limit?
@Oliver Hi, Its Denzyl from Zimbabweflag_zw, is it possible to get a visa using your entrance examination invitation that will allow you to be in Finland till you get acceptance from an university the start your start your studies after without going back to your country and the return again for your studies? . Whats happening is l applied to Metropolia UAS on the Autumn joint application and they only offer entrance examinations in Finland of which its almost next to impossible to get those funds of just traveling to Finland for only examinations then come back, then go back again in January for my studies.
Please sir reply me. Im from Bangladesh. I saw that my certificates need to be verified by foreign ministry. My question when im uploading is it necessary to upload those attested copies? Or Just normal/original non-attested copies are enough to upload. Im asking for Aalto University sir.
The application requirements depend on each university and their individual degree programmes. There are no universal application criteria that would apply to all programmes. So cant say for sure. What you should do is to look up interesting university programmes and check out their application criteria individually 👍
Hi Oliver! I wanna know that do we have to upload every study specific documents such as letter of recommendations, CV and motivation letter all under that one upload button 12:16 ? And how this is done if we apply for 2 study options ? And kittos paljon for such an informative and helpful content! 🙂
Hey Rishi and thanks for the great question! I recorder my screen a bit too high so you dont see it that well, but if you go to 12:36 you can actually see that there is a second identical button for the programme specific documents for that second programme :).
No problem. The question about the competitiveness of the admission is impossible for me to answer. I simply dont have enough information to give you a concrete numerical answer to this question. Surely i could say its hard but then again, this would depend on the school, the programme and your personal background. So its impossible to give a good assessment.
Please, just call me Oliver. We dont use sir or mam in finland as we like to keep things quite informal. Can you be a bit more precise with your question. What seems to be the issue?
Yes sir!! But I came to know that we cannot apply for doctrate in Finland . So just want to ask you sir what are other options that I can look for for pursuing a bachelor's degree in Finland if my subjects were biology , physics, chemistry in 12th.
Hey Medillena! Its very nice of you to ask. You can absolutely share the videos on your facebook groups. I hope they bring value to the members. May i ask what kind of groups are you a part of? 🙂
@@RoadtoFinnish #pinoyfinland -international students pathway. I created the group only this month and we are 40 members as of now. we are aspiring students seeking for more info about finland. Thank you for your reply.
No. This is because the separate and joint application processes happen at different times and are used for different degrees. E.g. applications to most Master's degrees are done using the separate application while most Bachelor's degrees use the joint application.

@@RoadtoFinnish yea especially when different countries have different names for their education levels which i had to learn the hard way 😑 but all in all it's fairly a simple process.
Exactly. This and the fact that different countries and schools use different grading systems. Its a bit of a pain but as you mentioned, in its simplicity its a simple process. What is a pain is basically "translating" the information into an international language.
