When I was little I used to think Finland isn't such a great place. But now having visited dozens of other countries I think it's among the best there is.
A wonderful country in every respect and miles ahead of my country in the things that really matter! Racism and bigotry are not tolerated there and the Finns are a great people. Thanks for this excellent video!
this video is just another reason to love finland... i love finlad and i´m from México, i think finland is amazing and i hope one day to live in helsinki =) i like the video
You skipped the fact the Russian emperors developed the university greatly since 1812... Skipped from swedish rule to 1917, missing the development of the university 1812-1916
Education in Finland is (currently) free-ish, in the sense of no tuition, but not free as in "we'll give you all these university books for free". Seeing a public health care doctor is much less expensive than a private one, but it's not "free" in the sense that the health center won't charge you anything. And of course, depending on what ails you, you may have to pay for a private doctor anyway because you can't get an appointment soon enough. Like in 6 months or something.
+Nazanin Mammad . I studied in Helsinki for 5 months in 2014 and I am sure that their medical department has an exchange programme. However, I don't know if you can study medicine there without knowing Finnish.
Finns are great friends. I know because I’m lucky to have a couple of them (but mine are not silent at all!!) :) Wonderful video BTW. I feel homesick about Finland, even if I’m Galician!
@dizablade I was addressing the misinformation in the advertisement. Tell me, what do you think about these claims? Is health care in Finland _free_? Do Finns "believe in the welfare state", and more importantly -- is the Finnish government committed to the values of a welfare state? How well has it upheld these values during the last 20 years, in practical terms? How is it a cause for jubilation if we do well when compared to rural India?
Great ad, and excellent choice of narrator (Jonathan Hutchings)! By the way, I noticed there are two minor inaccuracies: 1) We Finns are not, in the strictest sense, Scandinavians 2) To get to Nuuksio national park from central Helsinki, you actually need a 4 € regional ticket! ;-)
Finnish summer is pretty warm usually and has it's own charm but it is quite short unfortunately. But having four seasons that are all very different is nice too.
One other bit that was absolute crazy-talk was in the beginning, when the narrator praises the Finns' belief in the "welfare state". We believe in it! Right on! Good for us! While, on the other hand, the Finnish governments have been very busy dismantling the welfare system over the last couple decades. Finland had a somewhat capable social security system -- in the 1980s. I guess we do well if compared to N-Korea, but it's not like there's a non-stop celebration on the streets.
"Free education for all" - for now. And "all" of course referring only to those from Finland or the EU. Because, according to the rhetoric of those who are/were arguing for the introduction of tuition fees for international students, the said fees would promote internationality. Go figure.
Your comment is old, and still rings the truth. I'm not mentioning that studies in Finnish lukio (10-12 grade) is too expensive for many parents, because book prices are high, and the minimum expenses per year are around 400 euros, the maximum being 800 or so. That's one of the reasons why many Finnish 15-16 year olds can only go to prof colleges and cannot access university until they're well over 20 and got money to pass all the exams and apply for the program they dreamed of.
I am a student of university of helsinki who got a scholarship (although they take it back with the reason I got married to Finnish). Just so you know, University of Helsinki has such a system that ban scholarship students’ marriage.
Yhtään helsingin ylitsepursuavaa erinomaisuutta väheksymättä, Kuningatar Kristiinalla ei ollut mitään tekoa helsingin yliopiston kanssa, vaan Kuninkaallisen Turun Akatemian. Akatemia sittemmin toki pakotettiin muuttamaan helsinkiin.
I have recently visited their website and came across a section that I really found hard to believe.... apparantely the university makes it free for international students!!! is that really true?
I'm really interested to study there, but I don't know how hard it is to be accepted. What are the chances that I'll fail, even though I pass all the requirements ?
I just came back from a trip to Finland and I am totally in love. I definately started thinking of going there to Univerity ( :

Good vibes are coming from finland when i imagine myself to be in that country !!!!

A wonderful country in every respect and miles ahead of my country in the things that really matter! Racism and bigotry are not tolerated there and the Finns are a great people. Thanks for this excellent video!

You skipped the fact the Russian emperors developed the university greatly since 1812... Skipped from swedish rule to 1917, missing the development of the university 1812-1916
Yes it is true universities here in Finland are free for both finns and international students.
This is my dream University in the world.❤️

So for 6 months you suffer. That's worse than third world countries hospitals 😮😮😮.

Here's a girl from Vienna, who would love to connect her profession as an architect and traditional artist with the love for this country!

+Nazanin Mammad . I studied in Helsinki for 5 months in 2014 and I am sure that their medical department has an exchange programme. However, I don't know if you can study medicine there without knowing Finnish.

Let us appreciate our good country better.
Sometimes it takes a foreigner to appreciate what others have that they take for granted! Finland is not heaven but it is as close as it gets!
Nice to meet you University of Helsinki! I would like to know you more.
Great ad, and excellent choice of narrator (Jonathan Hutchings)!

@ponhaus yes, you can study in english or swedesh too
Very nice video!
if Finland was in a warm climate, I would move there in a heartbeat
Finnish summer is pretty warm usually and has it's own charm but it is quite short unfortunately. But having four seasons that are all very different is nice too.
I love starcraft
from Finland :)
If I were foreinger (im finn) and that age that were planning to place where to study, that would be Helsinki. So good that ad was.
Very nice video!! Congratulations and Brazilian hugs for all Finns!!!!
Wuuuaw!! (amazed in Spanish)
I want to study there by the end of my university in China.
A little reserved would be a major understatement.
aika hyvin panostettu tähä videoon :>
Someday....
Well done to all of you. WELL DONE FINLAND
@tiksa Because you live in the country of the university you attend and things like HEALTHCARE might interest you apart from other academic matters.
I am coming ....

Awesome !
God I'm watching every video of this channel and for some reason I want to go to Helsinki now, but I'm not studying science :'(
Yes, it is possible,you can also graduate with out knowing Finnish providing that you study in English degree programs .
See you helsinki in a month!

@@KL-wp8ip Let's not even get started on how messed up the current higher education application system is since the reforms of the past few years..

@ponhaus At least in our faculty slides, books and exams(if you want to)are in english.
I wish I could study there :(

@frankhu130 im highly proud that we have a university like this. t. haaga helia
Well, he told truth. Especially, if you can't speak Finnish then you won't have Finnish friends. At least you have free Finnish language lessons :)
Everyone can speak english in Finland anyway.

This video is being unavailable for several days by now. Wanted to use in in an article, what's wrong? :(
Showing only the good sides... But still a really well made video.
Yes, I'm a Finn.
Finland has got mostly good sides.
I wish finns would appreciate their wonderful country better.
@sharpezor let's change places for a year or two! :)
How's the tuition fees for overseas students ? Does the government help with housing like Denmark ?
Percentage required for study in university of helsinki ??
You'll find answers from here: www.helsinki.fi/en/admissions-and-education/international-students
Ihana!!
I have recently visited their website and came across a section that I really found hard to believe.... apparantely the university makes it free for international students!!! is that really true?
@fiigeli Sama yliopisto se on edelleen. Nimi on vain muuttunut... kahteenkin kertaan.
Man I wish I could to school in Helsinki, but it's probably too late to apply :(
surprise, still in Finland, almost everyone is depressed
Not true.
aivan loistava video
@misesfi Do, because it's true.
nice :)
I'm really interested to study there, but I don't know how hard it is to be accepted.
What are the chances that I'll fail, even though I pass all the requirements ?
